2024

 Eva and I took a trip to Japan!

The way there was a bit of mess because we got delayed in Vancouver for a day, but we made the most of it. 

The flight there was long, but we made it and the first stop was Nintendo!

She came home with quite a few souveniers. 

We visited a pet cafe with a whole bunch of dogos.

Rode the bullet trains

Explored the streets.

Went to a bamboo forest near Kyoto

I ate a lot of ramen. 

Also ate a lot of yakiniku. 

More Nintendo

The Osaka aquarium was amazing!

Visited a friend in Fukuyama

Went to a zen meditation session

Also went to a festival in Tomonura.

Found a random Splatoon car on the street and had to stop. 

Ate breakfast with some new friends. 

Visited Miyajima and stayed in a Ryuken. 

I needed a few extra futons for comfort. 

Ate Okonomiyaki in Hiroshima

Got a shave at a barber shop by a very old man... it was painful!

Also got to see my friend Soichi!

and his awesome family. 

Played basketball in Fukuyama with some locals. 

Shared a little bit about ourselves with some local students. Also shared some cinnamon bears, they HATED them!

Tormo got a new bed, we'll see if he eats this one...

Visited The Juidth for a surprise on her birthday. 

Went on two great trips to the Twin Sisters lakes area for backpacking and fishing. 

Also went on a short trip to Hawaii. 

 

I have been very consistent with my cold plunges. After a workout, they help so much!

I also went on a trip to Quebec and New Brunswick.
