It's been dangerously hot in Japan this week, so Son and I had to push our daily walk until after dinner. It's beautiful to see our normal path in a different light (literally). . . #Japan #Gifu #traveler #walk #sunset #authorsofig #writersofig #hapafamilylife #Shinto #tree #lionstatue

Sayonara, Japan. Saying goodbye to Ojiichan and Obaachan is always hard (and they're both 80+ y.o. so I don't take it for granted), but I also miss my daughter back in AZ. Sitting in KIX waiting for my plane to Honolulu. . . #Japan #Osaka #vacation #hapafamilylife #grandparents #traveler #sundayvibes #sayonara

Son & I took a train and a bus today to the mall in Kuwana to watch Jurassic World. We give it a solid meh. And that was watching it in English with Japanese subtitles. Cost: 3700 yen (~$35). Chu-ching. #Japan #hapafamilylife #jurassicworld #dinosaur #hapaboy #movies

Oooh, Lolita peeps (or anyone who enjoys tea parties), I found the molds to make "sugar lace" for your tea and cupcakes and such. Will have them available at @SabotenCon for you. . . #Japan #lolitafashion #sweetlolita #teaparty #tea #sweets #sugarsculpture #sugarlace #kawaiilife #kawaii #hapafamilylife #sabotencon #anime #manga #cosplay #theobentolady #authorsofig #writersofig

Walking through the neighborhood on my nightly stroll. Note: This is a two-way street. And this is why I have driven exactly two times in the last 14 summers I've spent in Japan. . . #Japan #travel #Gifu #countryside #hapafamilylife #authorsofig #writersofig #writerinspiration
