Well, here I am again! That wasn't too bad, was it?
So, Japan was absolutely incredible.

I have close to 800 photos to go through and so many stories to tell, but for now, I'll leave you with a few pictures of my adventures in the land of the rising sun.
Thanks for being so picturesque, swan.

I'm not sure what the story is behind these houseboats on the Sumida River, but I want one.
I did a pretty good job of buying everything in Japan, but I just couldn't fit these lanterns in my suitcase.
