Highlights from Kyoto

 I took a trip to Kyoto earlier this month, which is only a short train ride away. Here were two highlights from it:

 This is the view from the platform on Daimonji. It's in the middle of a giant character on a mountain, a character that means "big".

These are directions for eating a Smile Burger. They don't have to be followed to enjoy the superior taste, but they might help a little.

Long Time, No Post

It has certainly been a while since my last post, I am estimating almost two months or so. The tragic earthquake, subsequent tsunami, and nuclear reactor difficulties in northeastern Japan have shifted my focus since then, and am very fortunate to have not been affected by any of it. There is still a lot of trouble up there and work to be done, so let's hope for the best.
