yoga photos
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve taken a proper yoga class (nearing a year, now that I think about it), and I can’t wait to take one when I’m back in the States for a visit this spring. I’ve been feeling pretty good about my home practice–intermittent as is it is–but think some [...]
kyoto fotos: fushimi inari-taisha
One of the many amazing recommendations we got for our visit to Kyoto was to visit the Fushimi Inari-taisha, famous for its countless orange gates. When we first arrived at this famous Shinto shrine, we didn’t know quite what to expect. We had absolutely no idea just how extensive the grounds–and the gates–were. As it [...]

This Shinto shrine was built in the early 1900s to pay tribute to a beloved emperor and empress, and was then destroyed in the war. [...]
tokyo fotos: asakusa and senso-ji
Senso-ji was one of the most breath-taking parts of my visit to Tokyo. It’s one of the most famous temples in the city, and even though it was under construction and took quite a few subway transfers to get there, it was well worth it. As always, roll over pictures for titles, and click to [...]
