Sharing favorite finds from across the archipelago
I've long been neglecting the blog and for those of you who may still be reading, I deeply apologize. Part of the summer was spent back in Japan, visiting friends in each of the locations we called home over our eight years. Loose plans are in the works to hopefully be able to return to...

With my husband... Continue Reading →

Or blessed. Blessed sounds so much better, doesn't it?? 🙂  Two memorable trips - one to southern Wakayama... Continue Reading →
Since I moved to Japan five and a half years ago, I've been keeping all of my pictures of this country in a folder on my desktop computer. Commingled as they are, it's hard to know exactly how many pictures I took in this year alone (those of you out there who are MUCH savvier... Continue Reading →
