This morning we woke up to the news of the big earthquake and subsequent tsunami that hit Tokyo a few hours earlier. Scary. We're just hoping that as many people as possible have made it and that things will not get any worse.

Monday evening we came back from our own long weekend by the sea. It was indeed windy and we did see some big waves, but even they were diminutive compared to the waves rolling in on the shores of the Pacific ocean at the moment.
