Random Weekend Trip
We woke up and walked down the street to the small cafe for a bit of breakfast–we finally figured out to order two coffees (both for me) to save time. It’s Saturday morning and we have a weekend free—why not head to the Isle of Capri! (Notice how I made that rhyme?) Finding the right… Continue reading

Life in the Monastery
So yeah, the Buddhists…. where to begin? First and foremost, it was extremely cool to experience and I wouldn’t have missed it for anything.

Breakfast at Osaka Fish Market
But now it’s another morning in Osaka, and so we are off on another adventure. Robert did a ton of research for this trip, including reading some (translated) Japanese blogs of things to do here and there. One of these local bloggers highly recommended a tiny sushi restaurant hidden deep in the middle of the… Continue reading
