As you may not, not long ago (ok, we’ve been back 2 months almost!) we were in Japan on vacation. We had a great visit, saw some wonderful places and met awesome new friends. I finally sorted through the 1400+ pictures I took, culled the no-good / not useful ones, edited the rest, and distilled the best into their current form in the 2007 11 Japan gallery.

We went to Tokyo:

We went to Nikko:

…where we were on TV…

One mustn’t miss Mt. Fuji…

Went to Kyoto…

Met (not et) some deer in Nara…

Saw the floating torii at Miyajima…

Visited Hiroshima…

Marvelled at Himeji Castle…

And then we left, which was a bit of a drag, but isn’t it usually?
