Thought I'd post a few pics with my first entry. I immediately put my camera to work when we arrived here one year ago. My eyes were as big as saucers when I saw the obentos and onigiri assortment.

This is a beach called "Manza" that I went to a few times. I say a "few" because it was way too hot to enjoy with the intense heat that the summer brought. It was pure torture for awhile. In order to cope with the humidity, I took 3 showers a day and went through deo like there was no tomorrow. Yep, pretty rough.

As it's just now getting cool (and I'm recovering from the trauma), I might venture out there to enjoy the sunset...
