Week 5: Sayonara

6/12: Shinjuku Station is the most busy train station in Japan. Our hotel was just down the block from it, this picture was taken on a bridge over the road just outside of the station. I got some decent light trails with this shot, especially considering I was working without a tripod. Its crazy how quickly this begins to feel like home. We grew quite fond of Shinjuku over the course of our stay.

6/13: Today we met up with my old Sensei and her husband. They showed us a bit of the more traditional side of Japan. We went to a traditional Japanese lunch, a shrine, a war museum, an onsen, and lastly dinner at a 400 year old restaurant that Samurai used to hold meetings at. The road outside of the restaurant was the main road in Japan years ago as it connected Tokyo to Kyoto. Sachie and Taishi, we can not thank you enough for your generosity today.

6/14: Back to LA today. I took Brandon on a little tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. This is the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd. We traded lenses for awhile in Hollywood, so this picture was taken with his kit lens. It is much nicer than the non-IS version that I got with my camera.

6/16: The tourism in California continued the last two days. We went to Solvang up near Santa Barbara yesterday. It is a Danish community with windmills and all. Today we went to The Getty and then over to Santa Monica for dinner.
