| | 4/11/01 Traveling |
 | | I'll keep this shorter than you might have come to expect of me. We visited (italics where we stayed overnight) Tokyo, Aizu Yanaizu, Nikko, Kyoto, Takahashi, Kurashiki, Hiroshima, the Iya Gorge on Shikoku, Himeji, Nara, Takefu, Takayama, Tsumago, Magome, Takefu again, and Kyoto again. |
 | | We spent almost 12 hours going to Aizu Yanaizu and back to visit a museum (the Kiyoshi Saito Museum) that occupied us for all of 45 minutes. |
 | | It was a nice museum, though, and the trip into the hinterland on trains of decreasing size and speed, starting with a several hundred meter long bullet train and winding up on a one-car train I-think-I-canning up into a snowstorm. |
