Time to say goodbye to Fukushima:
After 2 years in Fukushima it's time
to say goodbye. This isn't easy to do. I have got to
know some really great people here who have gone out
of their way to help me out and provided me with some
truly unforgettable memories.

Travels in Hokkaido and Tohoku:
GW 2005 saw me wending and winding

gorges, snow, lakes, mountains, snow and SNOW!
