Monday

Monday was the return from Matsue. Stopped for breakfast at the Gusto in Izumo, then drove back up to Hirata to say goodbye to Yoshimi. We were taking the train back to Ohda. One train from Hirata to Izumo, no problem, but the train we got on leaving Izumo ended at the next stop. We got off and hung around the super exciting train station for a bit, before checking out the wave pool, and noticing the brewery across the street. The brewery was unfortunately closed, but the hotel next door was able to sell us some of the local specialties.

Back on the (correct) train, it was a pleasant ride down the coast before arriving at our destination. Ran some errands (groceries!) before heading back to the train station to pick up Pete! It's great to have him here.

We were invited to dinner that night at the Marugame's, where we barbequed fresh fish and local beef. Very delicious!
