Epilogue – 3 months later…

I have yet to write a lot (euphemism!) about my adventures of last year, and of course, that will come soon, in due time, once I am done mourning the end of my amazing journey through Japan. That being said, before sharing all of the stories and all the pictures, Facebook reminded me that today…
