Cindy Looks like an amazing time my friend. Good to see you are enjoying yourself.

Mum I don't have to travel anymore just read your wonderful blogs

sheila can you see smoke or ash from volcano in Chile?

Karen Ribout I love your adventures. So neat that you met with Ferg. You have a blessed life Martha.

Maureen Beautiful photos Marty. I have fond memories of being there with baby Sean and his dad many years ago. ( I think the island is Miyajima.) The Shinto shrine is amazing built on water and we saw them stage the Noh theatre there. The sacred orange Torii gates mark the entrance to the shrine. It is a UNESCO world heritage site. So beautiful. I am glad you were able to make that trip.

Mel Love reading the entries. Such an amazing experience... Even with the cranky snow monkey. Lol!! Hope you feel better.
