Bonjour, Bon Vespre

Just how far can you travel in a week and a half? It turns out pretty far. Combining planes, trains, ships, and automobiles, Yasuko and I travelled, all told, roughly 22 100 km over the Golden Week holiday.

From Tokyo to Avignon, on to Marseille, then Arles and Nîmes, followed by Carcassonne, Perpignan, and Barcelona, before heading back to Paris and home to Tokyo in 12 days wasn’t bad… Especially considering the car was a Fiat.

New York

Flew out to New York for final interviews with Tokyo via video-conference. Though I only spent 24 hours in NYC, I was able to run around a little and take a few pictures.

Back to Japan

Spent most of August in Japan. I arrived in Osaka the afternoon of the first, spent a few days in Shiga, continued on to Shizuoka, then ten days in Tokyo. Headed to Kyushu on business for four days, then returned back to Tokyo, before finally returning back to Canada.

Ohayou Gozaimasu

Back from a three week trek across Japan. Flew into Osaka, threw my bike together, and pedalled my way 800km across the country through Kyoto, Otsu, Imazu, Tsuruga, Fukui, and Kanazawa before a typhoon hit and I had to pack it up and get on the train. Finished up with a stop in Nagano, and a week’s worth of holiday in Tokyo.

Back in Canada

Back in Victoria, BC, after a two month return home to Canada by land beginning in Mérida, Yucatán and continuing through Cuba, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, then all the way back up through Guatemala, México, the U.S. and finally Canada.

¡Feliz Navidad!

Took a two week trip through southern México for Christmas. Starting in Mérida, southwest into Campeche, Tabasco, Veracruz and then Chiapas. Stopped to visit the Mayan ruins at Palenque, followed by some of the villages around San Cristóbal de las Casas. From there, it was northeast back onto the Yucatán peninsula, to Tulúm, then onwards north again to spend Christmas swimming in the Caribbean on Isla Mujeres in 30 degree weather. After a few days, it was westward again to Chichen Itzá and Valladolid before finally returning home to Mérida.
