A bit of beach time!

On Saturday, a bunch of us went to Ieshima, a small island about 45 minutes by ferry from Himeji.

The first island the ferry stopped at.
Our destination - an unhabitated island with a nature center and cabins for rent.
We went with several Japanese friends. For them, the main event was barbequeing. We Americans headed right for the beach! But we were very grateful for their barbeque skills after our dip! It certainly wasn't an American style BBQ. They brought lots of veggies along and noodles, as well as different meats, corn on the cob and potatoes in foil. The main dish was stir-fried noodles (I've already forgotten what they're called in Japanese) and they were delicious!

Today is a holiday, Autumnal Equinox, so I have the day off. After such a busy weekend, I plan to just relax today, maybe do a little shopping, and just maybe a bit of cleaning so I can finally take photos of my apartment to post on this blog!
