Day KEC is an English Speaking Society established by Kikko, my wife about three decades ago, after I established KEC (Kamakura English Club) in the middle of 1970s.
Hiroko has been the leader of this group, and about a dozen of English lovers get together every Thursday in Kamakura.

Hiroko had been waiting for her at Kamakura Station until Dick realized his mistake for about one hour.
I left Hiroko at Kamakura station and visited a temple called “Daigyoji” to take pictures of flowers at the garden.
The temple is famous for “Safe-Labor Birth Prayer” and nick-named “Onmesama.”
[The entrance of Daikouji, 大巧寺入口、대흥사(大巧寺) 입구]
I personally like the flowers of the garden, so when I arrive at the hall before the time, I visit the temple and take pictures of the flowers.

We began studying the regular English text at 9:30 and kept it until Dick and Hiroko joined us at 10:30.
Dick is a dynamic lecturer and an enthusiastic speaker of Minnesota. He introduced things of his state in US including public broadcasting urls on the net, and talked about summer camps at Minnesota.
[Dick has arrived, ディックが到着、딕 도착]
He also introduced Universal Unitarian church activities. When I visited USA last year, my good friend, Alan took me to a party sponsored by the church, so I knew the church a little bit.

It must be very interesting to Dick. He took many pictures just like me.

["Callosciurinae" or "Taiwan squirrel",台湾リス、대만 다람쥐]
I saw Taiwan squirrels digging the ground behind the shrines. A dove was also picking up the ground. I wonder they were eating worms under the fallen leaves.
[Oriental turtle dove,キジバト、멧비둘기]
According to Wikipedia, Benzaiten (弁才天, 弁財天) is a Japanese Buddhist goddess, who originated from the Hindu goddess Saraswati.
[At Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine, 銭洗弁財天宇賀福神社にて、제니아라이 변재천 우가복 신사에서]
There are two famous Benzaiten in Kamakura. One is Benzaiten in Enoshima, and the other is this “Zeniarai Benten.”
[Dick at the entrance of the Shrine, ディック、神社の入口にて、신사의 입구에서 딕]
So many sightseers who visit this shrine, wash money, mostly 10,000 yen bills, with the water in the cave.
After visiting Zeniaraibenten, we walkd to “Kuzuharagaoka” Park. The park is famous for its big cherry trees. I often visited this park with KEC members some decades ago.

From the park we walked along the ridge toward Hase direction. The trail was good for leisure walk, but down slope was a bit steep.

Then we took him to the big hall where the golden Kannon statue is put. To my regret, taking photograph of the statute is prohibited.

It was at 5 pm, and we took the Enoden tram to JR Kamakura Station.

It was a nice sightseeing trip of Kamakura with our honorable guest, Dick from Minnesota with Day KEC members.

Day KEC定例会と鎌倉観光:佐助稲荷-銭洗い弁天-葛原が岡-長谷の大仏-長谷観音)
Date: 2014年4月17日(木)晴れ
観光コース：生涯学習センター(雪ノ下)-イタリアレストラン「Kura」- 佐助稲荷 - 銭洗い弁天 – 葛原が岡 - 長谷の大仏 – 長谷観音 – 江ノ電長谷駅 - JR鎌倉駅
Day KECは英語自主学習サークルで、妻が30年以上前に創設した。現在は、フルート奏者のHYさんが主宰し、毎週10人から20人の主婦や退職者が集うかなり高度なESS(English Speaking Society)だ。
この会の元となったKEC(Kamakura English Club)は1975年に私が創設したESSで、今年は創設40年になる。
私が渡韓中の2003年から今年の4月1日までの11年間、私は帰国の度にこの2つのESSに参加している。
特にDay KECは主婦が中心のESSだが、総じて全体のレベルが高く、毎回、心地よい緊張感を持って参加する。
今回は、リーダーのHYの個人的友人で、ミネソタ州から訪日したディックさんが2回目のゲスト参加である。
HYさんの自宅は横浜であるが、ゲストのディックと鎌倉駅八幡側出口で待ち合わせの約束で、かなり早くから改札口でディックを待っていたらしい。

一方、ディックは大船で降りてしまったらしく、大幅に遅刻し、鎌倉の会館へ来たのは10時過ぎだった。
[Dick has arrived, ディックが到着、딕 도착]
ミーティングは前回同様の彼の独壇場で、それでも内容のある話で面白かった。
[Dick at Day-KEC, ディックがレクチャー中、]딕 강의 중
ディックはミネソタ州から来たわけだが、ミネソタ州を愛する心はたいへんなもので、実践ビジネス英語のテーマの「サマーキャンプ」に関連して面白い話をたくさんしてくれた。
また、彼のこの日のいでたちは、上が真っ赤なセーターで下は白いズボンのツートンカラーで大変おしゃれでもある。
また、この日はDayKECメンバーへのお土産も用意して全員にと言うわけではないが早い者勝ちのような形でそれぞれ受け取った。
[Dick brought presents, ディックはプレゼントを持ってきた、딕은 선물을 가져왔다.]

昼食は1時間ほどで切り上げ、午後は鎌倉観光案内に出かけた。
先導は地元のミッキーさんで、まず裏通りをにぎやかに談笑しつつ佐助稲荷へ向かった。
[We began sightseeing, 鎌倉観光へ出発、가마쿠라 관광 출발]

参道の両脇に置かれた狐の像はなかなか趣がある。また、お地蔵さん同様、赤いエプロンをしているのも面白い。

タイワンリスのそばではキジバトがしきりに落ち葉のなかをつついていたが、あれはミミズでもほじって食べていたのだろうか。

銭洗い弁天の次はその裏山の葛原が岡への坂道を上がった。葛原が岡からは尾根伝いに長谷の大仏の裏山を歩いた。
[At Kuzuharagaoka Park, 葛原が岡公園にて、크즈하라가오카 공원에서]
この尾根伝いの道はよく整備されていてすばらしい。尾根から大仏裏の車道に降りる道は急坂で、キャリアを持っていた人は大変なので、私がその荷物を引き受けた。
