「海の日」 Marine Day

     
みなさん、こんにちは!

Today, the third Monday in July, was a national holiday called “Marine Day”.
It was a perfectly proper day for Marine day as it was super hot day and felt wanted to spend the day by the water.
It went up to 36.5C in Tokyo too.
All animals at zoos were wilted.
Please take good care of yourself too.
Drink a lot of liquid to prevent heat stroke.
