Prayer Partners

These little guys were found on top of a mountain, prooving that no matter where you may wind up prryer is a good idea.

The Drop

The entire group was all for doing some nasty cliff diving, because we've all had prior experience, but this just wasn't looking promising.

Ise Inspired Island

Ise is the home to Shinto religion in Japan. This island is a smaller representation of a larger island shrine found in the Ise coast.

Jessie

Going for the enlightened look, which he almost managed to pull off... maybe it has something to do with him being Canadian ;):)

My first time....

Swimming to a random island and back in less than 40 minutes has allowed for me to enter into the island club. About time eh?

Pano View of Manzamo

I would really love to upgrade to a better camera soon... then shots like these would actually look sexy...

Little Ray Says....

You better come to Okinawa...In Japan, Okinawa is the only prefecture that is located in the subtropical climate zone.

Goodbye Okinawa

For your information: Although the US Military occupation of Japan ended in 1952, six years after Japan's surrender, Okinawa was the exception and didn't revert to Japan until May 15, 1972, 27 years after the end of World War II. Until then, US currency was used in Okinawa. To this day the US maintains a large military presence in Okinawa...

Back in Osaka

At least the school kids were glad to have us back!
