(no subject)

I've packed. I've repacked. Then I repacked again. But now, in a few minutes, my cousin and then Lena are supposed to show up and I'll be on my sad way home. Still owe myself, and whoever else is reading this, I suppose, five days worth of adventures but that will have to wait till I am safely in New York. I loved it here. I'd love to stay longer (a year or five, maybe). Desperately hope to come back again. I have a pocketful of small change, might not be a bad idea to find some fountain and dump it in there. For now it's a good bye, though. See you all soon.

Japan: Day Eight, Nikko, Part Two

After a somewhat less than successful first attempt at seeing Nikko I was determined to see everything there was to see of Nikko's shrines and temples on the second day, so on Wednesday I made the now familiar track to the town and went straight to every good tourist's first stop - Shinkyo.
