Audrey and I visited Tokyo in
February. It was our first chance to really explore a little bit of Tokyo
since we moved to Japan in November of 1999. This photo is a skyline shot
of Shinjuku , which is one of the main business districts in Tokyo. Click
here or on the photo for more pictures. (Apr. 2000)
New!! For our six month wedding
anniversary, Audrey and I went to Sendai for the weekend. (OK...everybody
say "Awwwwww...") One day we went to a place on the Pacific coast of Japan
near Sendai called Matsushima. "Matsushima" literally translates to "Pine
Tree Island". It makes sense because Matsushima town on a natural bay which
has many pine covered islands. This photo is of a pedestrian bridge going
out to one of the larger islands. Click
here or on the photo for more. (Apr. 2000)
