Japan

Sunday afternoon picnics at the Japanese garden section of the beautiful Shinjuku-Gyoen park; Afternoon showers bring out umbrellas in high end shopping district Ginza; Visions of the Rinnō-ji complex in Nikko.

After a morning spent with jaws dropped at the amazing Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, we arrived to Kyoto this afternoon to begin the second half of our vacation in Japan. Not much to say except that its been great, except for the 13-hour time change which is still playing tricks on my body/mind. I'm looking forward to seeing Japan from a traditional standpoint down here in shrine/temple city, after becoming dizzy day after day in the hyper modern verticality of Tokyo. I'll be back in the office ready to work on June 20.
