RIP Grammy

Hello,

Last Sunday my grandmother, Grammy, passed away from an infection after a series of complications.  She was responsible for my entire trip to Japan, as well as my journey to Spain with my sister.  I'll never forget the trip.  Thank you so much for everything. 

In Spain!

Hi!  Just a quick notice: me and my sister Klenda are currently on a three-week-long trip to Spain!  Here's the link to our blog there: www.ourtriptoespana.blogspot.com

Update: I'm back!  The trip was very fun and I can't wait until my next trip!   

Special Thanks

I'd especially like to thank Grammy, who took me to Japan and funded the entire trip.  I had a simply smashing time with you and will be a great memory for the rest of my life!

Other thanks include:

Mrs. Bokunewicz, my Japanese teacher
Mom and Dad, for commenting on so many of my blog posts
My family in general
Katus, for listing all those places to go to in Kyoto
Yoshiwatasan
Hiroakisan and Tamiesan
Mr. Joe and Ms. Gay

Leaving Today

Today, I'm leaving for America!

Just yesterday, I went to a temple with a thousand Buddhas.  It was quite interesting; each Buddha had one thousand arms--forty-two, really, but they said each arm represented 25 worlds saved (or something).  Right now, it's around half an hour before I leave for the airplane station.

Here's me near the temple.  Hope to see everyone soon!

TTFN!

Another suggestion was the Imperial Palace.  We weren't allowed in the castle... Still, very good scenery.

Good evening.  I sent an email to a friend on where to go in Kyoto, and she replied listing a few good places I could go (ありがとう　ございます、ケイティーさん)!  The big thing on this list was the Golden Pavilion, which had some truly excellent scenery:
