Writing this post was a struggle because there were so many memories to share, I had to hack away at the many details. And the most challenging of all: resisting the urge to book a flight back to Japan, haha! 😅
To anyone traveling to Tokyo, please consider adding Yanaka to your itinerary. It'll be worth it, I promise!
Rih Dil (lit. Rih Lake) - a natural #lake that’s outlined in the shape of a #heart. Because of this, it’s quite a popular destination for young lovebirds to hang out during the weekend. It’s about an hour’s drive from the town of Champhai, #India.
For #Indians, an Aadhar card suffices at the border gate. But good luck going with such papers beyond this town (or beyond Chin state, for that matter).

Letter from Shri Rajagopalachari suggesting the motto for the Indian Navy in Rajaji’s own hand.
It was decided to request Shri C Rajagopalachari, Ex-Governor General of India, to suggest a motto. A letter was addressed to him by the Commander-In-Chief of the Indian Navy, Admiral Sir Mark Pizey, enumerating the salient considerations in the selecting a motto: that of alphabets, that it should refer to the sea or seafaring, that it should preferably, be associated with Indian history or #mythology.
Shri Rajagopalachari replied with great promptitude offering a motto which fulfilled all the stipulation ideally. It was immediately adopted.
Attended the 2023 Let’s Go #Queensland Caravan & Camping Supershow at #Brisbane Showgrounds; the largest caravanning event in the state. Something for everyone from expedition vehicles (📷1), hybrid trailers that transform into larger accommodations (📷2), compact 2-person 4WD motorhomes (📷3), to retro-style caravans (📷4). Quite different from European shows: here the off-road capable caravans dominate—the terrain is much tougher.
Stunning night view of Arco de Almedina, the entry to medieval section of Coimbra that leads uphill to the historic university. Having a rental in this section of Coimbra was magical. An open window turned on a “concert” of Fado music at night! #arcodealmedina#Coimbra#Portugal#travel#photography

Across the world, criminal sentences for same-sex acts, for certain forms of sexual orientation and minority gender expression can range from fines or several months in prison to life in jail, from whipping to the death penalty. In some countries, laws are vague and open to interpretation. In others, it's the exact opposite. In Russia, for example, where same-sex acts have been legal since 1993, the government actively targets LGBTQ people and communities through discriminatory propaganda and fines for not having "traditional values."
Never forget the consequences of war. Normandy Beach, beautiful in an eerie way. This is wreckage left on the beach and then this was where 1000s lost their lives. Blood seeping deep into the sand. Strange standing here.
Parked for a single night harvest host stay en route to Vermont. The beers are fantastic.
I think US beer is way, way better up north. There's so many styles that people crave in cold months compared to hot months, and I'm convinced this makes the breweries produce more variety.
