What a long flight...jet lag...this should be interesting for a couple of days, but it may well work to my advantage as my work schedule has me getting up in the middle of the night anyway, so...

What a beautiful country! It is truly filled with magic and mystery, everywhere you go. The fact that the ancient and the modern live so closely together gives the feeling that anything can happen, and that it would not be out of place there.

There was a lot of walking. This was the truly limiting factor for our trip, as one could spend weeks and months there and not see but a small part of the wondrous sights held in every corner. We were fortunate to be in Kyoto during the Gion Matura festival, and we visited Senso-ji temple in Tokyo during the time of special pilgrimage, where our visit was equal to 46,000 visits. May our prayers for well being resound in all the corners of heaven loud and long.

It was a wonderful experience, to visit the land of Goku, Musashi, of temples and noodle bars.
