Tomorrow morning I am heading back to the place where my heart thumps deeper than anywhere: Japan.
This trip will be a bit different. This trip is all about some much-needed rest, friends, books and quiet. There will be sand; there will be ocean; there will be boats and bicycle rides. I’m looking forward to some fresh fish, Yebisu and perhaps an ice cream cone or two. Mostly, I’m looking forward to discovering a whole new place. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
Until then…
i love your life!
enjoy your rest.
oh, how exciting!! enjoy yourself and tell japan i miss her.
beautiful temporary goodbye – fresh fish sand and ocean…it doesn’t get any better…
oh YES!!!
oh steph, that sounds so wonderful.
enjoy! xox
Happy travels!
Good for you! Have a wonderful rest. :)
Mmmmh sounds intersting & exciting & sweet*** Can’t wait until you show us! Besides, did i tell you that your pictures always enchant me? Yes? Well, nevermind, i do repeat myself: Your pictures are fabulous.
I read your blog from time to time and just love your pictures, and now that I read you’re going to Japan I just felt compelled to give you one little travelling recommendation…
If you have a little time at your hands, maybe you could try to visit Hondoji Temple?
It’s a little outside of Tôkyô (near Matsudo), but not that far; and it’s just lovely this time of the year…
I spent my year abroad at a university not far from there and was a regular visitor, and during June the whole temple area is covered with hydrangeas and irises fully in bloom – it’s an ocean of blue, pink and various shades of purple and just overwhelmingly beautiful, especially when it rains a little… Walking there from the station doesn’t take more than 10 to 15 minutes – and on your way you can buy all different kinds of seasonal snacks… :)
Anyway, have a brilliant time in Japan,
Greetings from Hamburg!

(Not sure whether I could give links here – one link leads to the Hondoji Homepage, one is a blog entry (not mine) that gives directions…)
