I had grand plans before leaving for Japan for a couple weeks, even going so far as to attempt to “schedule posts” while I was away, but as you may have noticed, that never happened. I lost track of time somewhere in between Sly leaving for another work trip and me finishing up the last-minute planning of our trip. And then there was the last-minute packing made that much more difficult because I knew we would be doing both city and outdoors-y stuff, and because early spring weather would be iffy at best.
Long story short, the to-do list of unchecked items leaked into my trip to Japan where I planned on writing/sketching in my journal (when will I ever give up on this dream?), writing postcards AND sending them from Japan (instead of hoarding them and sending them from Korea months later), finishing my book club book, and most laughable, updating my blog with real-time posts.
None of the above happened.
What did happen: lots (LOTS) of walking, on average 10 miles a day, late-night visits to the supermarket and 7-11, eating pretty much everything in sight, temples and shrines and even more temples and shrines, watching bad Japanese TV, cherry blossoms(!), nonstop getting lost, taking the wrong train, and losing things, and a whole lot of sister time. Sigh.
Some day I hope to blog all about it. Sooner rather than later.
