Protests today


Geo and I were just to the left of these guys.  They are saying the crowds were much larger today than yesterday and more protests are scheduled for tomorrow.

Photos from Japan

Hi Grandma & Poppy! I am still in Japan for a few more days, but I thought I'd put a few photos online now, and a few more when I get home... I'm having a great trip, except for the heat and humidity. My Japanese-speaking ability is coming back to me a little bit, too!

Hope you enjoy the photos!

This is me with my friend Rie's daughter, Hohomi-chan (at her 4-year-old brother's preschool, in Yamaguchi Prefecture).And here are two photos of Mount Fuji that I took from a moving bullet train... I'd seen it from an airplane before, but this was the first time I've ever seen it from the train-- it's always been too cloudy before!
Here I am with my friend Mimi at a cafe in Hiroshima:
We also went to a summer lantern festival in Nara, where I've been with Jess, too, when she came to visit me in Japan!
Me backing away from a curious deer...
The giant buddha (Daibutsu) at Todaiji Temple in Nara was lit up and open at night for the festival.
My first visit to Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto:
And my third visit to Kyomizu-dera (Pure Water) Temple in Kyoto-- I've also been there with mom and George, and with Jess!
