Japan

In the Spring of 2012 and 2013 Christi and I traveled to Japan.  It’s one of those places we always wanted to go to but never thought we would.  Then when we did, well, we liked it so much we had to go back.  And since I’m a firm believer that all good things come in trilogies (except arguably the Star Wars Prequels),  we hope to return again someday.

It’s a place simultaneously rooted in historical traditions and technological advancements.  Where city frenzy lives alongside countryside serenity.  The food deserves an entire website of its own,  but to summarize it in a single word:  yum.

Here’s an extremely random assortment of pics from both our trips combined:

Click to enlarge.  Or keep ’em small,  totally up to you.  Who am I to make demands?

Southern Japan: Sasebo. Nagasaki.

 

Kyoto. Tokyo. Hakone.

 

Stay tuned next week for the stunning conclusion,  Japan: Part 2.  Cue inspirational quote:

From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes,  and I mean to make the best of my chance.
