日本が三連休だったので、私もお休みを頂いて、サンディエゴ＆サンフランシスコに行ってきました！サンディエゴは、とっても暖かく、お昼まは半そででゴルフできました。でも、朝と夜は、ちょっと冷えます。ほんとうに、とってもよい気候です。DCとの時差は、３時間（早い）です。フライトは、ダレス空港から直行便が飛んでいて、飛行時間５時間です。やっぱり西海岸はいいですね・・・。サンディエゴには、BSKBの研修で一緒だった友達が住んでいて、というかサンディエゴで研修をしているのです。サンディエゴで研修だったら、毎週ゴルフ三昧ですね。シーフードがとっても美味しかったです！
Since it was a three-day weekend in Japan, I took a leave absence from my boss, then I went to San Diego and San Francisco! It was very warm in San Diego, therefore, we could play golf with short-sleeved shirts. But it is a little cold in the morning and the night. It is really nice weather in San Diego. The time difference from DC is three hours (earlier). There are direct airplanes from Dulles airport in VA and it takes five hours form Dulles to San Diego. As everyone said, the west coast is very nice… In San Diego, one of my friends who took the training in BSKB with me lives in, and he is taking another training there. If Japanese trainees takes the training in San Diego, they are absorbed in golfing every week. The sea food was very tasty in San Diego.

Morning practice
アメリカ人の友達には、crazyと言われていますが、私たちは、早朝のゴルフ練習を始めました！朝７時に練習場に集合です。シュグルーのトレイニーメンバーです。私は、ジャージを持ってないので、皮パンとセータ二枚重ねで行きました。外はとっても寒いですが、やってみると、これがとっても気持ちいい。ボールを打ち出すを身体を動かすので、コートを脱いでも寒くないです。ただ、手先と足先がものすごい冷えますけど。ゴルフ練習の後、朝ごはんを食べて、仕事に行きました。なんて健康的なんでしょう！
Although, my friends said to me I am a crazy, we started to practice to play golf early in the morning. We come together in a driving range at 7:00 am. We are all trainees in Sughrue. As I don’t have a jersey, I wore leather pants and reduplicate sweater. As it is very cold outside in the morning, when I practiced golf, I feel so good! When I started to hit a ball, I don’t feel cold. But tip of my fingers and toes are very cold. After golf practice, we went to have a breakfast, then we went to work. What a healthy life it is!

DC is not cold??
DCは寒いと聞いていましたがとても寒いです。が、とても温かいのです。ビルの中は。アパートは、隅から隅まで暖房がきいているので、お部屋で暖房をつけなくてもよいくらいです。なお、夏は、隅から隅まで冷房がきいているので、部屋の中で冷房をつけなくてもよいです。当然Sughrueの入っているオフィスビルも温かいです。なので、移動のときだけが寒いです。なので、朝、コートを着て家を出ると汗ばむくらいです。さすがにこの温度差には、まいりますけど・・・。
As I have heared from someone that DC is very cold, it is true. But it is very warm in DC, in buildings or apartments. Since it is warm throughout our apartment by heating, I don’t need to turn on a heater in my room. For your information, in summer, air-conditioner are working throughout our apartment and it is needless for me to turn on an air-conditioner. In winter season, of course, the building of Sughrue is very warm. Therefore, I feel cold only when I am outside. When I wear a coat in my room
in the morning, I feel sweaty. I am annoyed with the difference of temperature.

First snow
今日(11/18)は寒いなぁと思っていたら、お昼まに雪が降ったようです。初雪かな。ワシントンは、とても寒いです。日本でも、もうコート必須かな。DCは、コートとマフラーと手袋必須って感じです。私は寒いのが大の苦手なので、とても困ってますけど・・・。こんなに寒いのに、好きな人は好きなんですね・・・みんながんばってゴルフやっています。みんなズボンを二重に履くそうですけど（笑）。
As I supposed it was very cold today, it snowed in the afternoon. It must be a first snow. It is so cold in DC. It might be the first snowfall. It is very cold in DC now. Same as DC, I imagine everybody needs a coat in Japan. I need a muffler and gloves in addition to a coat in DC. I need a scarf and gloves in addition to a coat in DC. It is no good because the cold makes me very uncomfortable. Regardless of the cold weather, some people play golf...I can’t believe it. But, actually, they need to wear reduplicated trousers!

Winery tour
Sughrueのジャニスに、ワイナリーツアーに連れていってもらいました。総勢１２人だったので、大きなバンを借りていきました。予定では、ワイナリーを５件回って、テイスティングをすることになってました。朝１１時から夜まで飲みっぱなしです。ワイナリーでは、５～１０本くらいのワインを５～１０ドルくらいでテイスティングして、おいしかったワインを２本くらい購入してみんなで飲む、というのを繰り返しました。で、２件回ったところで、これは、３件くらいでいいのではないかと、いう感じになってしまいました。酔っぱらいです。で、４件目は飛ばして、なんとか５件目に行きました。５件目のワイナリーが一番おいしくて、ワインを２本買って帰りました。でも、うちに付いたら酔いが冷めてしまって、新しいワインを開けて飲んだりしたのでした・・・。
Janice in Sughrue took us to the winery tour. As a total of us is 12, so we rent a big van. We were going to go to five wineries and taste. We drank wine continuously from 11:00 am. In the winery, we repeated tasting 5-10 bottles of wine around 5-10 dollars, then we chose the best of two bottles, then drank. Then, after two wineries, we felt one more was OK, but three more were too much… We all got really drunk. Therefore, we skipped the fourth winery, we tried to go to the last winery. But the last winery had the best tasting wine. I bought two bottles of wine. But, when I returned to my apartment, I got sober. So, I opened new bottle of wine and I drank a glass of wine again…

Houtou-Nabe
今日は、久しぶりに日本食を作っています。日本から大和イモを送ってもらったので、とろろごはんを作ります。後、寒いのでほうとう鍋を作ります。それから、おいなりさん、豚の角煮、筑前煮、かぼちゃの煮物も作りました。今日は、７人来る予定なので大量です。朝からクッキングのTVを見ながらお料理してます。お醤油をさんざん使っています。やっぱり日本食が一番だなぁ・・・。
It has been a while since I cooked Japanese food. As I had my friend send Yamato-Imo, I will make Tororo-Gohan. Further, as it is very cold in DC, I will make Houtou-Nabe. Furthermore, I cooked Kakuni of pork, Tikuzen-ni, and Nimono of pumpkin. Since seven people will come to my apartment, I will cook a lot of food. I am cooking watching a cooking program on TV. I used a lot of soy sauce. I think Japanese food are the most delicious food in the world.

Internet
ついに、アパートのインターネットが接続しました。今までは、アパートのビジネスセンターにPCを持って行って、メール等を読んでいましたけど、やっとお部屋の中でインターネットが使えるようになりました。DCには、VerizonとComcastという通信会社があるんですけど、Verizonは、約束の日に工事に来ないということで、Comcastにしました。でも平日はなかなか時間が取れなくて、友達に何度も何度も変更の電話を入れてもらいました。工事の終了後もネットにつながらず、Comcastに電話してやっと開通しました。これでブログが更新できます！
Finally, the internet of my apartment has been connected to my room. Until now, although I took my laptop PC to the business center of my apartment, and connected it to the internet and read e-mail. I can use the internet in my room finally. A there are two providers, Verizon and Comcast, but Verizon did not come, even if I made a reservation. So, I applied Comcast. But, I didn’t have much time on weekdays, I had my friend call to Comcast to change my reservation many times. Furthermore, after completion of work, I still could not connect the internet, then I called Comcast, and finally, I could connect. Now, I can update my blog.
