Retreat-o to Nikko

This weekend's Saturday agenda included a day trip up to Nikko - a historic town 2 hours north of Tokyo by train. This location is one of the most important sites for Buddhism in the country - there are many beautiful temples nestled in the mountainous terrain. The Trio (Sian, Ian, and I) took the two hour train up, up, up on Saturday morning... but not after a big, warm, latte-hug from Starbucks.


Oddly located pockets on my new coat.

Hi Amy,
Nikko looks beautiful. How do you like Tokyo? Looks very electronically advanced. Is it expensive?

I have been great. Just here in California, thinking and planning a trip for next summer. I just went to Denver this past week and Meghann from TEFL is living there at the moment. I hung out with her and Todd a couple nights. Can you believe it has been a year. Doesn't seem that long until you really think about it.

I am itching to get away. Where are you headed to next? Looks like that company you signed up with is getting you sweet gigs.
Miss your sunshiny~ness.
Take care.

Gloria.
