Well, not too long and I think we can add another update. Maria enjoyed having her 5 day weekend for Golden week (May 1st-5th), though I had to do a lot of work on those days so I didn't get to enjoy it quite as much, but I managed to stay on top of it well enough so that we took a walk to the beach and had our friends the Casey's (currently in Sekikawa, where the giant snake festival was waaay back in August or September) over to hang out for a day.
Last weekend (the 8th and 9th of May) we went to Nikko with them as well, to see the shrines and the sites. We took a lot of photos, you can find about 100+ here They're also on facebook too if you want to read the captions, though I didn't write a lot this time because I can only write "this is a building I thought was interesting" so many times before even I get bored of it. Unlike Kyoto, I didn't do quite as much research into the historical significance of the shrines around Nikko, other than they were built to do something like celebrate the success the Tokugawa Shogunate had in uniting Japan around 1600ish. 100+ pictures are equivalent to quite a lot of words, so that's all the update you're getting out of this post. Sorry. I'd feel bad but I've been tagging and uploading photos for what feels like all day and I'm definitely ready to go on a run. Enjoy! You have questions about them, Skype me and I'll go through them like vacation slides.
