DisneyVersary

       Hey all! My copilot took me on a surprise Disneyland excursion last weekend to celebrate our first year of marriage, so I thought I'd share some pics here. It was a sweaty, exhausting, magical, wonderful, nostalgic weekend with so many unexpected (fortuitous) things. We stumbled on some great food, great shows, and had a blast reminiscing about that far-off place called America. Take a look!



Would you believe the tour guides on the Japanese Jungle Cruise make the same puns as they do stateside? Leave it to Disney to make trans-lingual puns.





The most magical!


Toon Town was one of my favorites!





So many peeeeeople.

The Disney Resort! Someday...

Inside the lobby



We found an incredible Mexican restaurant in Tokyo...maybe the first time to eat real salsa all year?!

Ohhh fajitas!

DisneySea! Atlantis!


Waitin' in line for Storm Riders.


We ate lunch at 10:30 so we could enjoy this.


It was a New York style deli!

Ladies and gentlemen, the Tower of Terror.

Little Green Dumplings. You know.

This guy was soooo popular.





Goofy lookin' good.


A gondola ride through Venice, with our trusty gondolier. 








Don't be fooled--it was closed for maintenance. Bleh.


Daniel asked if I wanted to take a picture with Eric. I did, but I lost my gumption and ran away.

Japanniversary.

        Hey all! Our apologies for falling behind with the blogging; we've gotten a little busier with the start of the new Japanese school year. Spring has finally emerged in Kanazawa, and we've been reminded what a blissful place this is when the sun shines! In honor of the delightful warm weather, and more importantly, of our one year anniversary (!!!), we have posted some pics. 
        First, one from that awesome  party we had 365 days ago:


        I wish we could have a party like this every year, but alas, some reminiscing will have to suffice for now. We're feeling smiley and thankful for this adventure-packed year.

       And now, some new Japan photos. Our friend Loki shot these a few weeks ago during cherry blossom season. Have a gander!




















That's all for now. Thanks for reading/looking, and take care!
