    February midday Saturday travel is not busy

    Sewing project is a great travel activity

    Get $20 currency exchange as soon as you can

    Do not look for deals yet

    We got stuck in the station because we passed our stop

    Because of 60 yen…

    We had hundreds of US$

    That was useless in Shinjuku without currency exchange machines

    Not much English nor direction from firm security to not allow passage

    Now at the end of the trip:

    I understand we needed to merely jump on the train back one stop and freely walk out

    At the time:

    Had to beg a tourist and was willing to pay $20 (lowest denomination I had) to get out of the station

    Mercy was given freely

    After smooth walk and check in to hotel

    Simple curry

    Simply delicious
    Cozy (small) clean hotel sleep
    Early morning walk around city
    Traditional breakfast a la carte

    Lost my credit card along the way

    Paid via phone tap wallet

    Cat walk around city
    Coffee park stroll
    Rest In Peace Frosty

    Etiquette embedded in culture

    So meal respect was attempted
    Quality presentation and tasty
    Returned for a jet lag nap
    Quality dipping ramen
    Exploration of alley shops
    More morning walks
    My buddy with me and sharing to others
    Beat all US hotel breffis
    To Nagano!
    Such nice stations

    Unfortunately no ski rental in town

    Ryokan with onsen is lovely
    Could not figure out wifi
    Potentially busy
    Empty for this season
    Well kept temple
    Known for buckwheat soba
    Overflow niigata sake
    Must onsen

    Forgot the room photo!

    Comfortable floor tatame beds

    Morning walk was quiet
    More than Shinjuku
    Oyaki great breki
    Educating unplanned trek
    Shiga kogen half day
    Run 1
    To the top!
    1998 Olympics
    Returned just in time for sunset
    I like the normalcy of small owned shops
    Independent quality

    Onsen before bed

    Morning walk thru park by temple
    To Myoko-kogen!
    Day 2 Run 1
    Last run!
    Good timing since I lost my lift ticket memorabilia
    Awaiting bus ride back
    Pocket ski snack smooshed

  • Write legibily

    202601250546mh6f8

    0458 wake train Aussie place brush squat

    Checking mail and writing a check

    I took my time to make it legible

    Eligible handwriting is an indicator

    Patience

    Discernment prioritize

    To write slow

    Is to appreciate the gift

    Of free expression

    All in pace
    In Peace

    Convicted by

    Job 31:6-12 NLT

    [6] Let God weigh me on the scales of justice, for he knows my integrity. [7] If I have strayed from his pathway, or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen, or if I am guilty of any other sin, [8] then let someone else eat the crops I have planted. Let all that I have planted be uprooted. [9] “If my heart has been seduced by a woman, or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife, [10] then let my wife serve another man; let other men sleep with her. [11] For lust is a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished. [12] It is a fire that burns all the way to hell. It would wipe out everything I own.

    I have lusted

    I have faced the consequences

    No Mercy
    But still Grace
