pictures galore

yummm sushi! the freshest tuna I have ever tasted, it was soooo delicious!
traditional Japan vs. modern culture- this guy had piercings all over the place but he and his wife and daughter were dressed in traditional japanese costumes for their visit to this temple in Tokyo.
a deer in the Nara Park- it was so beautiful and peaceful, as opposed to the thousands that were running around and nudging for food from the tourists!
the hugest buddha statue I have ever seen in the largest wooden structure in the world- pretty amazing!
Wherever we went in Nara park we were approached by Japanese students who were on a field trip. They had to practice asking us questions in English, including 'can we talk?', 'can i take a picture?' etc... very cute! That is Stefan behind them- he is over 6 ft tall and towered over them and me!
