This Has International Incident Written All Over It

Hey kids. We made to Japan just in time for the annual Kyoto humidity festival which runs from mid-May to late September. In between periods of sweating like Whitney Houston going through customs we managed to get a little sight seeing in.

Our first stop was an early morning ( yes I got up early, blame jet lag and J.G.) visit to the Toji Temple complex in downtown Kyoto. It was very beautiful and very closed. We're going to the temple market on Sunday and we'll give it the full tourist treatment then.

J.G. my partner in travel and life will be shouting out to his peeps on the blog from time to time so be nice. I know how you children can be. Fear not I'll be right beside him through in a snarky comment when needed.

Of Shopping and Singing Crabs

As we were walking in a huge Kyoto shopping arcade we fell victim to the intoxicating siren song of a giant plastic crab. In an atempt to lure customers many restaurants in Kyoto employ the talents of singing plastic food all of whom have childlike voices and big round eyes. I'll post more Japanese singing entrees as I find them.

Summer Down Under

While we're freezing here in NYC it's summer in Australia and the folks at Aussie Bum are turning up the heat even higher. So check out their website and think warm thoughts.

During one of our many google searches we came across this picture of the 1950 Boston College varsity crew. Presented it here as a public service. Click the picture for a better look.
