reba and i spent a few days wandering around this ancient city to get our heads set on peace boat. the boat's keeping us busy by making us researching different ports on our journey. reba's in charge of looking up information on the former eastern block city of dubrovnik, and i am checking out key facts for colombo. did you know that dubrovnik is often referred to as 'the jewel of the adriatic,' and colombo is also known as the 'teardrop of the indian ocean.'
it's possible this was the last time we would get the chance to be in kyoto for a long time. what to do? see the sights again. soak them in one last time? naw... we had 30,ooo yen (approx. $300) worth of gift vouchers from ANA airlines to spend (reba cashed in on her miles - the perk of taking a 14-hour plane ride each way once a year). so, we got busy spending them by loitering around the ANA hotel during dinner time 3-days in a row. plus, we treated ourselves to an old fashion shiatsu massage. not sure of what shiatsu is? imagine a 4'11" woman attacking you with her thumb for 45 minutes. i'm sure there's more to it than that. i just haven't 'learned' to enjoy it yet.
