Latest Japan Trip

I had a quick trip to Japan just before Thanksgiving, arriving in Nagoya on a Saturday night, and then continuing on to Kakegawa for a couple of days, returning home the day before Thanksgiving. It was a busy time, but here are a few pictures I managed to get.

Nagoya at the Marriott Hotel, on top of the train station. They had a nice display of Christmas lights in the area and many people were taking it in.

Catching Up

I never had the time to finish finish the last trip, but wanted to catch up and post a few more pictures from it. I did end up spending yet another night without luggage in a hotel in Amsterdam before reaching Germany. Needless to say, I was the most tired that I could remember being when I finally reached the Alte Schule Hotel. I spent a day and a half in Germany before leaving the next morning for home. While there, I went with Erik on an unexpected fishing trip that was a delightful escape from what I had been through. We went out in a rowboat on a lake near his home for a couple of hours one evening. It was pouring when we arrived at the shore, but soon let up and cleared off to let the sun through. I captained the rowboat while Erik tried some new lures. Unfortunately, I didn't bring the camera.
