Spring in Yokohama (^-^)

Posted in Beauty, Japan, Japan travel, Life, Photos on March 28, 2013 | 6 Comments »

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 [...]

Oh my, is it warm today! It’s around 70 degrees (Fahrenheit), and deliciously sunny! The birds are chirping, and it feels like the cicadas are going to come out soon! So, what better time to revisit old photos, right? XD.. I am going to get out and take some nice new ones of the springyness [...]

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 | 3 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 [...]

Manga Island on Cat Island! :)

Dadadadaaaaaaaa! We had finally arrived at the best part of cat island.. the amazing amusing cat houses! This part of Cat Island si called “manga island,” even though it’s really just a hill on top of the same island that we’d been on the whole time. But aren’t they cool?! You can also stay in [...]

Meow meow Island! (Tashirojima, part 3!)

Whew! Wow.. I think that I’ve recovered enough to continue on. Sweet kitties that don’t have homes really can get to me (as you can imagine, those commercials where someone finally gets in touch with their long-lost family member have me completely destroy me). There were a lot of cats in Tashirojima, but that’s not [...]

Touchdown on Tashirojima (aka Cat Island)!

Posted in 2011 earthquake, Japan, Japan travel, Life, Photos on January 5, 2013 | 10 Comments »

Well, we finally made our touchdown on Tashirojima after a short ferry ride over the choppy sea. The sky was overcast as T and I made our way down the docks and over to the shoreline. I wasn’t really too worried that we wouldn’t be able to get a ferry home, but T mentioned it [...]
