quick update

So, I have been in quite the mood to write, but as it is going so far we have been busy pretty much from rise until fall every night.  That is kind of great and kind of not at times.  We want to do everything possible and we aren’t doing so much we don’t enjoy ourselves, but we are truly soaking up every moment of this experience.  It is great minus blisters on three of my toes…oh and the added pains of extended walking.  It actually is starting to numb out though so that is good.

Anyways, since day one we have seen Picasso and Monet paintings.  We have been to Krispy Kreme.  We have seen the crazy outfits of Harajuku and the extremely raunchy excesses of Shinjuku.  We have been to the peace memorial in Hiroshima(btw, we are in Hiroshima now and will leave tomorrow night).  We have spent a day on Miyajima.  Very busy, very amazing.  Can’t wait to tell you about it.

Oh, and so far we have traveled by bus, subway, train, monorail, airplane, trolley, boat, gondola, and foot.  We will be using taxis and potentially bicycles in Kyoto.  Had I considered record for most modes of transportation in 2 weeks I probably would have dumped the insane amount of money to ride in a jinrikisha(the man-pulled cart).  There is always Kyoto…
