Some quick notes:

I spent the last week (that's Golden Week, for those of you keeping score at home) in Nara City, visiting a lot of ancient shrines and temples. I was there with a couple of friends. We also found time to visit the Grand Shrines of Ise-shima, the center of Shinto, and the most sacred place in Japan. I took over 200 pictures. Hopefully, this weekend I'll have the time to (finally!) update the photo album.

I turned 32 back on April 23rd. Woo hoo....
