“I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” – Mary Anne Radmacher
Its hard to describe the impact the travels in Japan have had on me. It was an amazing journey. On so many levels it was inspirational-and the friendships I made are at the top of these experiences!
In a series of blog posts, I plan to share the highlights with you. From traveling with a band to Japan’s largest rock festival, to picking up sea glass with a wonderful local guide (and friend!), the trip included many milestone moments.
So let this brief post serve as a prelude to much more-as soon as I get back down to earth!
