Sand in my shoes and other places
... I imagined the lives the people led that allowed them to spend a weekday afternoon in the ocean. Maybe they were teachers on summer break, or fishermen and their families, whose workday starts and ends before many people wake up.
After the beach we drove to the Tottori Sakyu, the sand dunes. It's hard to describe how cool the dunes are. I went there once before about ten years ago. The best thing to do is to watch the sunrise and sunset from the dunes. But I ...
Tottori Sand Dunes & Sand Museum
Tottori was the main destination this time. The city is famous for its sand dunes along the seashore of the Sea of Japan. Last month, I have visited smaller sand dunes, Nakatajima sand dunes in Hamamatsu, but this time, I expected greatness from Tottori sand dunes. Unfortunately, however, they were a little bit disappointing, because the dunes were covered with snow and they looked like a ski resort. Still ...

As this ryokan was obviously a lot bigger than the one we visited before there was not the attention to detail in the service we received in Kurashiki. Thats not to say it was not good, which ...
Good Bye to Japan
Sorry for not putting up any new entry but I have been busy packing up all my things to ship back to Oregon. It is interesting to realize how much stuff I have collected over the last six and half years. Lots of CDs, books, videos, clothing and lots of paper and pictures. I also realize that the 3 plus years in Tottori is the longest period of time I have spent in the same place (apartment, house, or room) since ...
