Driving around Kyushu today, we found high country plains. I’m not sure that is the exact or proper term, but it was like being in a different part of the world. It was one of those places that I just happened upon and parts of the roads don’t register with my GPS. THAT can be a little disconcerning…lol But on the way up and down, a lot of people were out on this holiday, for both Americans and Japanese, harvesting rice. The rice is turning a beautiful shade of gold. I came across a lady working and I asked her if I could take her picture, and at first she was no, no, no. Then she started working so I could take some pics. That was great. And in the way it seems to happen on Japanese roads. I ended up at the first place I turned off from the highway.
