We appear to be in Japan

Blogging from Kyoto,for a change.After a long wait- 29 years- I am completing my trip to Japan with Sydney.Japanese breakfast has been the only sticking point so far,but we have not yet given up on miso soup/thin rice gruel/pickles at 8 in the morning.We bow incessantly,and hope that the locals regard us as amiable,if ignorant, foreigners.With tears of emotion in our eyes,we visited Shigaraki [yes,it is full　of ceramic racoons in every imaginable size].Tomorrow,Kawai`s museum.will try to post pictures,but no promises.
