お盆期間の最中ですが今日は仕事。圏央道～関越道を通って群馬に向かったのだけれど、ただでさえ高速道路は混むのに関越道の上り線で事故があり通行止め。私は下り線で群馬に向かうのだが、下り線もその事故の見物渋滞で10km以上ノロノロ走行。
Japan is in the middle of summer vacation, but I was at work today. I took the Ken-O Expressway and then the Kan-Etsu Expressway to Gunma, but even at this time of the year, the expressways are crowded, but there was an accident on the opposite lane of the Kan-Etsu Expressway, so the road was closed. I was driving slowly for more than 10 km because everyone was watching the accident and driving slowly in the lane on my side.
なんとか無事到着して仕事も済ませ、帰路に就こうとすると今度は東京方面行きの上り線が高坂SAを先頭に20km以上の渋滞。仕方なく高速を降りて一般道を通って帰ってきました。あ～疲れた！
I managed to arrive safely, finished my work, and was on my way home when the Tokyo-bound lane was congested with traffic for more than 20 km, starting at the Takasaka SA. I had no choice but to get off the expressway and take the local road home. Ahhh, I am so tired!
帰りは普段の倍の時間がかかったけれど、こなつが出迎えてくれれば疲れも吹っ飛ぶ！
It took me twice as long to get back home as it usually does, but having Konatsu there to greet me blew away any fatigue!
