Girls day out in Sakaiminato

Since the girls outnumber the boys I thought the title fitting. They were in charge too. Along with most of the Yoshihara and Gion families, we took the train to Sakaiminato. Both carriages were full of tourists with their cameras, no doubt from neighbouring prefectures. Perhaps a majority were those returning from the big cities to visit their families during the obon (お盆) holiday. It was hot, 36 °C and super-humid. As the girls turned yet a darker shade of brown, I turned a brighter shade of lobster. We managed a circuit of most of the statues before a lunch of onigiri and kakigori.
Outside a train decorated with GeGeGe no Kitaro characters, Sakaiminato (境港).

It was great to get a picture. There was always at least one trying to wander off.
