Nope. Never gonna tote around a tripod. Too slow, too bulky. They did quite fine here.
3 months agoSure looks like it. We were surprised.
3 months agoThat’s the real deal, right?

3 months agoOne of these meals! I’ll never forget this experience. In one ryokan we stayed at our server brought a paper placemat with a hand drawn food map matching the layout of the dishes, written in English so we’d know what we were eating.
3 months agoThank you for the food related ending to the year 2024 from Japan :)
3 months agoHappy New Year to you Jery as well. We are presently in Okinawa enjoying warmer weather and taking a break for a few days. All the best from your Canadian friends.

Quite cosy but Barry often uses his thermarest mat as he has back issues. Not camping this trip, but the thermarests always come with us.
You are so right Scott. Not only did I forget to mention it here, but we both seem to forget when entering the toilet room in the bathroom and have to back out and start again.
3 months agoThanks Scott from fellow manhole enthusiasts.
We are both so relieved that you are recovering. It gave all of us quite a scare. We wish you a coming year of good health and whatever adventures come your way.
Hi Steve…and Happy New Year from Japan
I am taking some time to respond to comments that somehow didn’t happen. We are taking some time in Okinawa relaxing..both sick and my knees are not happy. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts about mailing. It was good advice. The disclaimer that Canada Post had in their message to Japan Post was the likelihood that they would arbitrarily return parcels was enough to make us rethink our plan.
Happy New Year to Mary and Barry.
Good luck for your final weeks in Japan

Another black kite. I was surprised to see how few raptor species are found in Japan, most of which are found in much of the rest of the world. There are really only four or five.
