Here are some photos of us doing our thing in Japan.
The winter season is still going......and now that Chris' knee has recovered we are back in full swing.
We are safe and in good hands as Mt Yotei (the local volcano) watches over us.
Our time has been evenly split between work, snowboarding, dinner with our new found friends and the Onsen's (outdoor natural hot springs).
Life is Good!

Hi
The photos are amazing!! I am extremely envious of your journeys but very happy to oogle over them. Keep them coming. So glad that you are having such an amazing time. All the animal photos are unbelievable. You were so close. What an awesome experience!!! Gotta get to Africa myself one day. I'd love to give one of those silverbacks a big cuddle. That'd be right before I'd get eaten. Keep having fun, lots of love Renae
