Kyushu Beckons! (九州)

Hi all,

Well, I am officially back to work in Ehime after my preposterously long three week winter vacation.  I look forward to beginning a series of updates with pictures and stories from my trip around the island of Kyushu.

In the meantime, here is a shot of the Christmas-ish display from the ferry terminal in Matsuyama.  It was still up when I returned to Shikoku on New Year's Eve.  Having now rode on both a night ferry and a night highway bus, and attempted to sleep on both, I can say that it's a choice between sleeping in an earthquake simulator or sleeping on a roller coaster.  That being said, I think I prefer the roller coaster.

More to come soon!

B.E.W.
