It's a 40' (12 m) fall from that veranda to the ground and legend has it that if one survives the fall/jump a wish would be granted. We were hungry and opted for lunch instead. #🍜 We arrived around 8:30 am to avoid tour groups and school trips; it opens at 6 am and was packed by 9:30. #Kyoto #京都 #kiyomizudera #清水寺
Reminiscent of "Labyrinth." @margarettewolfe and I navigated using directions in lipstick. #bamboozled #totheleft ⬅️ #arashiyama #嵐山#bambooforest #kyoto #京都
Snack time with @margarettewolfe. I liked the azuki bean, she preferred the sweet soy sauce glaze for the #mitarashidango. 🍡 #glamping #awesomesauce #みたらし団子 #kyoto #京都 #itwassoromantic #retro_japan_
Had a great night at #Enoshima Island Spa with friends tonight. ♨️ For the first time in a long time I'm the tallest person in a photo #itsthelittlethings #spadate #江ノ島
Just a little snowy out there today in #Niigata Prefecture. The 3 1/2 hour drive took almost 6. Absolutely beautiful to see from the warm car though! Nearly 10" fell today and 6-8" is predicted for tomorrow. Perfect for ⛷ and 🏂 #雪 ❄️ #新潟県
Highlights from New Year's Eve with @margarettewolfe at #TsurugaokaHachimangū in #Kamakura. Okonomiyaki, crab, chocolate covered bananas and the best part...relaxed open container laws for my beer along Komachi Dori and a chuhi for trek from the station. #鎌倉 #正月 🎍🐓⛩
First sun set of 2017 overlooking Mt. Fuji and Enoshima Island from #ZushiBeach this evening. Had a great date day with @margarettewolfe! #日没 #よいお年 #富士山 #Zushi #sunset #happynewyear #fujisan

Writer, cookier, wife and stay at home mom. The Navy has moved us (in the following order) to Annapolis, Maryland; Charleston, South Carolina; Balston Spa, New York; Groton, Connecticut; Kings Bay, Georgia; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; back to Groton, Connecticut; back to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Yokosuka, Japan, Dam Neck, VA; back to Pearl Harbor; Newport, RI; Monterey, CA and now back to Japan. We'll see where else it takes us, but for now I'm just going with the flow. I enjoy every minute of it and am a sponge when moving to new places.
