Back in the USA (by way of Japan)

Hello, world. Good morning! I am back in the States now. I landed yesterday evening after a long flight from Tokyo. Though I slept well last night, probably because I was just so exhausted, I haven't slept a wink tonight. I laid in bed until about 4am, then finally gave up. So I thought I'd take the time to catch up on my travels from the past week! I have just returned from another year in Thailand via an eight-day adventure in Japan.

Since I can't sleep anyway, I'll begin to upload some photos from the Land of the Rising Sun!

I filled a journal with my notes, thoughts, and observations during this trip. I'll be posting my Japan adventure in photos and selections from my journal in parts by city over the next few days!
