Sendai Era 2015

Sendai Hair Flap

After a few months in Tokyo, we moved on to the second stage of our new Japan adventure, beautiful Sendai, the ‘City of Trees.’

Let’s Visit Aoba Shrine!

Let’s Visit Aoba Shrine!

A few weeks ago, Mary and I wanted to go back up to Omoshiroyama and check out a flower park we'd heard about. Unfortunately, we missed the train for that by mere moments so we suddenly had a free afternoon in front of us. Fortunately, we weren't too far from a couple...

Sendai Castle is Missing… Kind of

Sendai Castle is Missing… Kind of

We'd been in Sendai for almost 5 months before finally getting up to the site of Sendai Castle, which is odd considering it's, at most, a 15 minute bike ride away. I think one of the reasons we kept putting it off was that we knew there wasn't a castle there. Over the...

Out My Front Door

Out My Front Door

We live in the city, which is a thing I never get sick of. It's one of those nice "little things" when you're greeted by an interesting (at least in my estimation) view every time you open the door to leave your home and go out into the world. Just wanted to share a...

The Shape of Things to Come… [Pt 1 of 2]

We've been enjoying our time in Tokyo but next week it draws to a close. We kind of arrived in Japan a little early in terms of Mary's work, so being here has been an exercise in setting things up to move on to the next step. That next stage being, Sendai! We've gone...
