This is how it should be. Not the crowded, cramped, cities full of people and houses and apartments stacked one on top of another....
Danny and I took a cruise down the Kinugawa river near Nikko. It reminded me of the Colorado river at the base of the Grand Canyon. It's the most beautiful thing I've seen during our 13 months in Japan. As a friend who was on the trip said -- just getting to be on the river for a while makes it easier to go back to the crowded city where we live.
