Here I am back home again, and I'm here to rest
All they ask is where I've been, knowing I've been West
I'm the family's unowned boy, golden curls of envied hair
Pretty girls with faces fair
See the shine in the Black Sheep Boy
Home is the hunter, home from the hill; and the sailor home from the sea.
Hello everyone! We have returned safe and sound from a wonderful week of riding! Almost perfect weather, we only had 45 minutes of rain on one late afternoon, and never too cold. The onsen (hot springs spas) were beautiful and comfortable, the ferry ride down and back was pleasant, and we had a delightful vacation. I didn't do as much reading as I would have liked, but this time I did remember to bring my tea, so it was daily doses of Black teas in the middle of a Green tea world!
(Next trip I'll also pack a proper sized mug!)
I've put a few low res
photos into an album here so you can get an idea of what we were seeing.
On the last day on the roads, we passed something like an antique shop, and found these for sale...
I bought the set on the bottom left even though we don't have a fireplace.
It's nice to be home once again.
