Sand in my shoes and other places
... desert.
After some souvenir buying we headed home. More or less. I kept ******* off the GPS by going my own way based on memory and rough knowledge of the area. Then I had this great Idea: I went to Yumura Onsen. On our last trip to Japan we visited the onsen town and I have fond memories of the place. Still do, despite the little adventure we had.

Maybe it hasn't sunk in yet as I still have a lot of things to do before I go but I will soon be in the land of smiles with the temperature in the 90's (30's C), a big differnce of freezing weather and snow of Tottori.
