こんな遠くに来ています。
I am here in Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture.

というのも、私の妹のご亭主の体調が悪くなり、そのお見舞いにここまで来ているのです。自宅を朝7:30に出発して、安城に到着したのがちょうど昼の12時。
This is because my sister’s husband is fighting leukemia, and we are here to visit him. We left our home at 7:30 in the morning and arrived at Anjo at 12:00 in the afternoon.

約束の時間までには1時間ほどあったので、事前に調べておいたワンコと一緒に入れるカフェ「Chou & Cream」でランチすることに。
We had about an hour before our appointment, so we decided to have lunch at Chou & Cream, a café that allows dogs, which we had checked out beforehand.

店内に入ると壁の棚にお酒の瓶がズラリと並んでいて所謂ドッグカフェとは様相が違う。店主が言うには、夜はワンコ連れで飲みに来る人がけっこういるのだそう。
When we entered the store, there were many bottles of alcohol lined up on the shelves on the wall, which was different from a dog café. The owner told me that there are many people who come here at night with their dogs for a drink.

ワンコ用の食事メニューもあったので、こなつもここで軽く食事にしました。
There was also a food menu for dogs, so Konatsu had a light meal here.
このあと妹の家に行きましたが、ご亭主は眠っていたので顔を見るだけのお見舞いになりました。奇跡的に回復してくれると良いのですが。。。
After this, we went to my sister’s house, but her husband was asleep, so we could only see him. I hope he will recover miraculously.

左が妹、右が二女、中央が孫。こなつはビビりながらもお手をしていましたよ。
My sister on the left, her second daughter on the right, and her grandson in the middle. Konatsu was scared, but she was doing “paw” .

ここは帰る途中の浜名湖SA。
This is the Hamanako service area on the Tomei highway on the way home.

ここには犬を連れて歩ける眺めの良い広い公園があります。なかなかいい所でした。この日は鎌倉まで帰るのはちょっと大変なのでこの近辺で泊まることにしたのですが、いつもの楽しい旅行とは目的が違うので、取り敢えず寝れればいいというつもりで宿を探しました。その結果、、、
There is a large park here with a nice view where you can take your dog for a walk. It was quite a nice place. It was a bit difficult to go back to Kamakura that day, so we decided to stay in the area. Since our purpose was different from the usual fun trip, we looked for a place to stay, hoping to get some sleep. As a result…

「はたごや袋井店」にしました。季節により料金は変動しますが、今回私たちは1部屋税込み9,900円。祝日の前日ということを考えればこれなら安い!
We decided to stay at Hatagoya Fukuroi. The price varies depending on the season, but this time we paid 9,900 yen per room, including tax. Considering it was the day before a national holiday, this was reasonable!

アメリカ映画によく出てくるモーテルみたいなものですね。
It’s like the motels that often appear in American movies.

キングサイズのベッドが2つに、バストイレ他、必要なものは大体揃っていてなかなか快適でした。全国に支店がかなり沢山あるし、これなら今後も使ってもいいなと思える内容でした。
It was quite comfortable, with two king-sized beds, a bathroom, and most of the other necessities. There are quite a few branches all over the country, and this was something I would be happy to use in the future.

そして翌日。せっかく来たことのない土地に来たからには何かそこの美味しいものを買って帰りたいと思い、ネットで検索して「とれたて食楽部」という地場野菜・鮮魚を売っている店に行ってみました。
And the next day. I searched on the Internet and went to a store called “Toretate Shokurakubu” that sold local vegetables and fresh fish.

道の駅みたいな感じです。
It’s like a roadside station.

安いし新鮮! たくさん買い込んできました。
Cheap and fresh! we bought a lot .

帰りは新東名の駿河湾沼津で休憩。
On the way back, we took a break at Suruga Bay Numazu SA on the New Tomei.

ドッグランに行ったらお友達ができました。ビーグル犬のジョン君、この子も保護犬。
We went to a dog run and made a friend. John, a beagle dog, is also a shelter dog.

こなつにとってはあまり楽しい二日間では無かったかもしれないけれど、無事お見舞いを済ませてきました。
It may not have been a very fun two days for Konatsu, but we made it through the visit.
