I haven't blogged for awhile because
we've been working so hard every day on our new Hawaii property,
which I'll blog more about in days to come. And that means I haven't
yet written a final blog post for our Japan trip, which is a shame as
it really was one our best trips ever. Japan – or Kyoto at least –
is the epitome of what civil society should look like: clean,
efficient, safe, modern yet historical. There's virtually no
graffiti, no litter, and very little crime. The cab drivers wear
caps and white gloves, and the people put a premium on being
courteous and considerate to each other. All this and heated toilet
seats. What a country. We'll be back.
Appreciating the plum blossoms and the coming of spring.
Photographing plum blossoms is serious business.
