New age snorkeling mask

French guests showed us his new mask for snorkeling. 

Stress free from water coming in and no more snorkel into your mouth. 

We have not tried yet in the water but the French guest was so so happy with the mask and andrecommended. 

The price was around 50 euro he said. 

Fresh Italian Tomato and herbs from Reiko's small garden.

we planted Italian mini tomato in May and amazingly doing very well at moment. Many of them were ready to harvest, so we tasted them at dinner time, mixed with fresh coriander as a side dish of Japanese style tuna steak with original sauce.
umm.. that was Yummy!  
Tomato had slightly thick skin but the taste like full sun!

Siau Island - volcano island of North Sulawesi

After some rain, when air became quite clear, we can see Siau island on the horizon far away sometimes. This morning early I could see one, even bit of smoke coming out from the top.
This Siau Island is called "Gunungapi Karang Etang" - one of the live volcano island of North Sulawesi.
