Still living, not so much blogging

Okay, so we have been terrible about blogging. Our reasons: 1) limited internet access, 2) unlimited cold symptoms, and 3) actually spending all of our time walking, seeing, eating, enjoying, etc etc etc. What an amazing trip this is! We leave Matsumoto tomorrow morning (it is now Tuesday night here) and head for Tokyo. Before we know it, we'll be plane-bound for 14 hours. What are the chances my brother will remember he said he would come pick up the folks? Quite good, right?

Recent highlights:
- friendly schoolchildren
- delicious, aromatic homemade plum wine (literally, and not that you asked or wanted to know, I am drooling at the recollection)
- lost objects
- found objects
- department stores that do not sell cameras
- snow in Japan's Alps
- warmth in the valleys
- welcoming, patient people
- surprise gifts
- familial togetherness
- general happiness

Wishing the same to you all. =^-^=
