Travel The World

But, I keep getting sidetracked.  I also need to get on the ball and travel somewhere.  Hopefully, I'll do that in the next few months.

Aren't the cherry blossoms a sight to behold?  I especially like the picture where you can see the castle past the blooms.

'Hanami' is when one views the cherry blossoms in the spring.  It also involves a lot eating and drinking while viewing.  Notice all of these in the pictures.  It's like a dream, isn't it?

Three more pictures, this time of downtown Nagoya which was always just a pleasant subway ride away.

For those of you who have never been to Japan, you may not think these pictures very exotic.  They were taken from my balcony and show a neighborhood called 'Kurokawa' in Nagoya.  It was very convenient for me to live there as the subway was just across the street from my apartment building.  I also loved walking these streets in the evenings.  I lived in Japan from March through August '07.

to myself of what I will be returning to at some point in the future.  Another scene from 'Ananuri' in the Republic of Georgia.

Various farm elements used in the traditional village.  I wish I could recognize some of them!
