The Tottori Sand Dunes

Before we went to the sand dune, we went to the sand museum. My favorite sculpture by far was the great wall of china. Note the small sand people on the steps!


After observing several sculptures we got to try our own. Lisa and I made a model of Tottori's mascot, a bird that is also a pear. How about 'dem wings?


There's the dune! Now to head to the top...


Phew! That was a long way to go!


The top of the dune offers a spectacular view of the Sea of Japan, though, so it's totally worth the trip.


Afterwards, we all sprung back to the souvenir shops and got some Nashi (pear) Ice Cream, easily one of the most delicious things I've ever had (and it's not just dehydration and fatigue from the sand dune climb talking!). (I got two)
