pekoさんの おぼえた日記 - 2012年6月14日(木)

I was off today. My boss gave me a holiday instead of last Sunday. It was nice of him. Though it's not a paid holiday, I'm so glad. Because I was really exhausted.

I wondered how I should spend my holiday last night. Should I stay home all day and have a relaxing time to ease my tireness? Should I go out to somewhere I've wanted to visit? I chose the latter. I made up my mind to go to see the Sky Tree. I know it's a long trip, but it doesn't matter. I went out as soon as my chhildren left home for school. I arrived there around at 11:00. I didn't see it anywhere when I came out of the subway station. I walked along, and then suddenly it came into sight. How tall and big! I was surprised at its size. I was looking it up for a while. I was very hungry, so I decided to have lunch first. I wanted to try the Italian restaurant on the 31st floor with a wonderful view. But on seeing a very long line in front of the elevator, I gave up. I had 餃子 with an ice-cold glass of beer in a small restaurant. It was extremely good. Acually, I'm dying for 餃子. Then I sauntered in the building looking in shop windows. There were a lot of people. I kept bumping into them.
Actually, I don't like the place where is jam-packed with people. But I didn't care about it at all and I had a good time.

I came home with 半熟カステラ, which made everyone happy.

今日はオフ。こないだの日曜日の代わりに、上司が休みをくれた。　有給じゃないけど、すごく嬉しい。　だってホントにくたびれちゃったんだもの。

夕べ、どうやって過ごそうかなって考えた。　一日家でのんびりして、疲れをとろうかな。それともどっか行こうかな。　決めた、スカイツリーを見に行こう。　遠いけど平気。　子供たちが学校に行ったらすぐに、私も出かけた。　１１頃着いた。　地下鉄の駅を出たときは、どこにも見えなかったけど、歩いて行ったら突然視界に現れた。　おっきい！　　びっくりした。　しばらくスカイツリーを見上げていた。　お腹が空いていたから、先にご飯を食べることにした。　３１階の、見晴らしのいいイタリアンにしたかったんだけど、エレベーターの長蛇の列を見てあきらめた。小さな食堂で、キンキンに冷えたビールで餃子を食べた。　とっても美味しかった。　ほんとは私餃子がすっごく好きなんだ。それから、ぶらぶらウィンドウショッピングを楽しんだ。　すっごい人。　ぶつかってばかり。　ホントは人の多いところって好きじゃないんだけど、今日は平気。　とっても楽しかった。

お土産に半熟カステラを買って帰ったら、みんな喜んだ。
