Brilliant Post
We tend to head to the countryside on holidays but I also like cities. Your post and photos really wet the appetite. Great writing!

Shangri-la
Your talent for descriptions and making us want to be along with you are immeasurable ! I so enjoyed reading both recent transcripts from Japan. What a beautiful country, not only the ancient but the modern, too. Fascinating ! Obviously, the people are brilliant engineers judging by the tales of the buildings, highways, some elevated by- ways etc. The photographs you take are magnificent ! I seriously hope you are considering compiling this past seven years, plus what's to come, into a book. It would be a hit, for sure. I found your words about returning home for a visit, what you missed most, and what had changed most, quite interesting ! I look forward to more. What's next ?

Edo - Future World
I was in Tokyo in June, and you captured the wonder of the city very well. I particularly liked the plethora of food choices, from the beautifully displayed food in the food halls of grocery stores to Matsuya Curry, where you buy a ticket for a dish from a vending machine, then present it to the server. And while I wouldn't willingly eat dinner from a 7-11 here in the US, I was pleased to find that dinner choices from 7-11 in Tokyo are actually good.

Thriving on change
We understand you wanderlust and the need to see life through varying perspectives. Touching base is good also. Your summary was excellent. Japan is on our short list so we really enjoyed this one. Spectacular photos as always. Continue to enjoy life on the road.

Change...
Kyoto was very nice. Japan is an interesting place and definitely different than anywhere else we have travelled. Being home was nice. We had been away for too long. I think we feel closer to settling than we ever have. Thanks for reading and the nice compliments. As always we really appreciate them!

Fushimi Inari Taisha- Kyoto

Lovely photo
Thanks for the blog. It was nice reading it. Emma and I went to Kyoto a few years ago and we liked it there. Japan really is a fascinating place. I hope we will be able to go back there some day. Especially Kyoto I'd like to visit again and see more of. /Ake

Fushimi Inari Taisha- Kyoto

Lovely Kyoto...
We enjoyed Kyoto. It is a fascinating mix of modern and ancient. Definitely worth an extra visit. We are enjoying Japan. It is exotic and chaotic but still preserves some peacefulness. Thanks for reading and commenting, Ake!

Happy seven years on the road!
It was interesting reading your summary of how different/same you found the US after all this time travelling. Kyoto takes on a dreamy quality through your words and photos...made me really want to know what your 'complaints' were :) Looking forward to more blogs from Japan

Lucky 7...
We are just starting our 7th so hopefully it will be lucky for us! This was the longest we have ever been away from home. It definitely gave us a different perspective. The U.S. will always be home, but we did see things that could use some outside input from places we have travelled. We are off to an even bigger city in just a couple of days (guess which one?). Wish us luck and thanks so much for commenting!

A photographers dream location...
I look forward to reading about your adventures in East Asia.

Dream...
Kyoto is a wonderful location for some nice photos. I can not even imagine what it would be like during cherry blossom season or the fall color change. Perhaps a return visit is necessary! Thanks for reading, Bob!

I love it.
I did the same itinerary last February including the Grand Canyon and the Sequoias National Park and the Zion Nationl Park. Amazing scenery.

Amazing..
We are very lucky to have some of the best natural scenery anywhere right in our own backyard! Thanks for commenting!

Nightfall in Croatia
Your description of the colors reflecting on the marble is marvelous. Your word pictures dance in my head. Love sitting in those sidewalk cafes. As we read your blog our list of destinations grows....as always.

Nightfall...
Thanks again guys for reading and commenting. It means a lot in these days of decreasing views. I hope all is well for you. We are back in CA for a month to restock, visit relatives and make some future plans. Loved your blog on Tara. Thanks for following along!

Split Sunset

An unexpected gem?
Did Croatia come as an unexpected gem for you? I have learned that many of the lesser travelled countries and places are at least as interesting as the ones everybody go to. We loved Romania when we were there a few years ago, we found Iowa very interesting when we were there last year and Poland is one of the best travel destinations in Europe if you ask me. I am happy that speak well of Croatia, because it is yet another not much travelled country. /Ake

Split Sunset

Gems....
Croatia did come as a surprise to us. I don't think we knew much about the country and didn't have much interest in it when we began this trip 6 years ago. Probably true for most Americans, I suppose. We find Croatia gorgeous. I think most people would. I also agree with you about Romania and Poland. I think many Europeans have visited these, but I would suppose not many Americans have these countries in their wish list. I am very thankful we had an opportunity to visit all three, and we hope to go back sometime soon. Thanks for reading and commenting, Ake!

Beautiful Post
Your photos and story brought Split alive... I would love to visit there one day

Awesome!
I have visited Venice myself and found it as fascinating as you have. However, what drew me to your blog was your most outstanding and vivid photography. I also appreciate your style of writing. Congratulations!

Living in a snow globe
You always paint the picture and take us on an adventure where we wish we'd been to the places you were seeing. Always eager to see where so spent a new month. Tallinn sounds lovely. Hope you were able to rest and map out the next few travel adventures.

In the Globe..
We enjoyed our stay in Tallinn. It is a cute town and even though it wasn't the perfect time of year, we still had a nice time. On to warmer climes this month. After a very long winter, it is nice to finally find some summer. Thanks for reading and commenting. We appreciate it!
