Our 200th post !

We started this weblog on June 1st and we've already made 200 posts! That's more than one entry per day! I thought this would be an appropriate time to finally get around to posting the remaining pictures from our trip to Japan. Here are some of our favorites for the last half of our trip:

Kintai-kyo ('kyo' means bridge) in Iwakuni. Iwakuni Castle on the mountain to the right.
