Japan Snapshots #1



Had a wonderful vacation in Japan for a week with Mich. Love it, love it, love it! Love the food, the service, the people, the historical and cultural sites, the air, the weather! It wasn't so fun lugging our luggages around, especially up and down the train stations getting from one train to the other. Guz that is the trade off for having covered quite a bit instead of following a tour group. We met up with Liz, a friend teaching in Kobe and she frightened us when she told us there were tremors just a day before we arrived! But to the Japanese, these tremors were probably nothing. Went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe, Koyasan, Hakone, amazing we did it in 7days. We both agreed the best part was gog to Koyasan, a religious place set in the mountains. It is now a listed as a world heritage place. Glad I went on this trip, without Tobey and TS, though the two were really jealous. But at least, a little separation at times is good! Tobey was so sweet to say, "I have to learn to take care of myself when Mommy is not around. But TS wasn't so sweet, he said he doesn't need to switch on the radio anymore in the car since I am around. Get what he means? That guy is meany mean mean.

More of Japan in the next posts!
