It was great experience and I really enjoyed it. What I loved is that you can surf waves if any, otherwise you can just explore places and move around basically like on a canoe. Since then we&#8217;ve been thinking of buying a paddle board but given the space we have and the car we have, it has never been further then looking at a few websites&#8230; we then start looking for places where to paddle in Isumi and found the little SUP club and their initiative to clean the Isumi river. Once a month they organize a <a href=\"http:\/\/wowsports.jp\/service\/events\/rcc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SUP cleaning cruise<\/a> so we finally registered for the October one. Honestly, rivers in Japan are not looking too clean: I have serious concerns about the chemical quality of the water and I don&#8217;t think that there is an actual check and I would not swim in any except for mountain streams. I may be wrong, and hope I am. Nonetheless my target was not to fall in the water at all. The Isumi river is a beautiful winding river in a quite deep gorge sometimes with no real accessibility, so boat, canoe and paddle board are the only way to discover its surroundings and it&#8217;s really nice to have a different perspective. Just after the rain has stopped we gathered at the SUP club and we headed to the river bank all equipped. 7 people, 3 boards and a canoe. The trash along the river is just infinite and the cleaning we&#8217;ve done is a drop in the ocean. And they clean every month&#8230; cleaning properly would take forever and many more people&#8230; yet it was fun and interesting to join that event which I highly recommend and I think we will definitely go again. The people at the SUP club were really nice and it was a great fun.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_7810.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-3226 size-full\" height=\"845\" width=\"1500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_7810.jpg 1500w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_7810-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_7810-768x433.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_7810-1024x577.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_7810-1400x789.jpg 1400w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_7810-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After that we felt quite hungry and tired and skip our tennis practice for once, but we didn&#8217;t skip the 5 o&#8217;clock tea with a little reinvigorating snack: crepes. Crepes are the easiest and fastest snack to prepare and it is easy to make just a few. Here is my recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Crepes (makes 4 25cm crepes)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 70g of flour<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 1tbs of sugar<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 1 egg<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 1\/3l to 1\/2l of milk or whatever liquid you want (water works too)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; butter to grease the pan<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; filling of your choice: chocolate, sugar, butter, jam, lemon juice, honey&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In a bowl mix the flour, sugar and egg, then add the milk little by little to obtain a rather liquid and smooth texture. If not enough liquid add a little more (this will depend on the size of the egg).<\/p>\n<p>Heat the pan and grease it with butter. When hot pour a thin layer over the all pan. Cook at medium to high heat, flip once, add the filling and fold, serve and eat.
