The story of my Japan trip wraps up with social events & encounters.

We steep ourselves in art, sites, activities, and performances reminiscent of historical Japan.

We sample all sorts of Japanese seafood, soup, and… seseri?

A navigation of Japan by train, tram, taxi, and more.

Our journey to the Land of the Rising Sun transports us to times and places even further away.

Our trip concludes in Argentina’s capital with modern art, the tango, and lots of steak.

We attempt a rocky climb up to the stunning Mirador Base Las Torres.

The vagaries of the weather lead to unforeseen consequences on our glacier hike.

Our family Christmas trip kicks off in the Chilean capital.
