I understand that I'm no great photographer, and that Sasebo's 99 Islands (くじゅうくしま - in kanji i think its 九十九島) are heavily photoraphed, but I'll share a few any way.
Tim and I stopped in a Navy bar after being kicked out of a "Japanese Only" bar. We chatted with the bartender, who told us to check out the 99 Islands. It was a hot tip!
Tim's getting quite good at japanese and asked how to get to dock via bus. After hopping on the bus, he asked these old ladies if they were going to the same place, turns out they were, so we followed them around.

Those photos are AWESOME!! Please send me an e-mail as to the kind of camera and lens you have, Paul. I loved the ones with the islands behind you so that I could see you AND the islands. What beautiful water -- you are certainly stockpiling hundreds of memories and experiences. I'm so glad you got the chance to go. If I didn't send wishes before, Happy Birthday!! Love, Aunt Denise
I know you are anxious to be home but your words and pictures testify to the wonderful bank of experience you have gained. We are all better for it too. You should consider publishing your collection from the blog when you get home. I'm sure Uncle Raul will finance the gig! Hope you had an awesome birthday!!
What a beautiful country. I hope you get a chance to see under water as well. I hope you can take some video and save them for us to look at when you get back. Glad to see you're making every day count. Happy Easter to you - we're thinking of you.
Love
Dad
