はじめまして
I never really did an , just jumped in and never went back to Xitter.
A bit of an explanation now - I've transplanted to from for my 4 month Fall sabbatical - with my family!
We our kids, so this worked out well (next yr Kid1 will head to college - last opportunity for this sort of adventure, so I snatched it). Wish me luck!
Thanks all who follow or just come across & boost - you mastofriends have all been gracious and kind! 🙏🏽

Mostly I'll post (as I am typically wont to) about
I'm a compulsive documenter, so there'll be I hope to get my fill of and share a slightly different perspective - not just touristy (you'll get that too, don't worry).
Last time I was here in Japan with my partner was 2016 for 2 weeks (kids stayed behind - with partners visiting parents, in Pittsburgh). We have all so wanted to come (back) here.
I'll use tag too

よろしくお願いします 🙏🏽

A re- or perhaps de- introduction especially for so many new followers - I'm back to my usual beat in Pittsburgh; done with an amazing time in 👆🏽

I can never tell what may be to your interest and not offended if you unfollow. 

For now some pics from the trip; among my favs, one kid2 took of me in Asakusa (didn't touch the waraji, but hey look at that 50+ yo form!)

Cheers!
