I even had my art on display there when I worked for Konomi-sensei!　Well, there is a Ribon Festa too, [...]

Why, hello there, Spring! I’ve missed you. :3 It’s a nice, pleasant 65 degrees, sunny with blue skies. And, the sakura are out. It’s not quite full bloom here where I am, but it’s almost there. Any day now, the trees will be bursting with pink petals, and just the hint of green leaves! Where [...]

This is going to be my last post on Ishinomaki. I couldn’t stay in Ishinomaki and on Cat Island forever! If you’re sad, let me know and I’ll see if I can go back up again sometime! Maybe to volunteer! To be honest, I was only even in Ishinomaki/Cat Island for two days, but looking [...]

And so we prepare to depart Japan’s Cat Island..

Posted in 2011 earthquake, Japan, Japan travel, Life, Pets, Photos on January 10, 2013 | 2 Comments »

What a journey! We had traveled through tsunami-ravaged former neighborhoods in order to reach the ferry docks, froze as the ferry whipped through gloomy waters, and arrived on the lush, cat-filled Tashirojima. From there, T and I had sought out cats, funky turtles, cool signs and billboards, and finally, the coolest cat-shaped hotels EVER. But [...]
