tuesday's a national holiday? cool! i couldn't very well let my unexpected holiday go to waste, so i packed an overnight bag and headed out to one of okayama's international villas! i took a train to a the tiny town of kasaoka and boarded a ferry for shiraishi island! the sun was setting, so i didn't see much that night. i checked in to the villa and it turns out i would have the whole place to myself. it was big and clean and nice!

i stayed in the japanese style room and did lots of japanese things! i wore a little blue robe around and took a long bath. then i made my bed on the floor and read a book under the kotatsu quilt!
