Flyboarding for the First Time
July 21, 2020July 21, 2020 ~ Activated Adventurers ~ Leave a comment

We have been meeting sea-anemones, condors, crabs, sea lions and seals. It brings back fond memories of some of our other coastal excursions and adventures, all over the U.S. and elsewhere.

Favorite Rivers around the World

January 29, 2019February 11, 2019 ~ Activated Adventurers ~ Leave a comment

Last Tuesday we were discussing rivers and lakes on Twitter. Every Tuesday we join an international group of globe trotters who like to discuss various topics related to travel. Seine River, Paris Rivers and lakes remind us to pause, take a moment and reflect. As human beings made of 98% water we are naturally drawn … Continue reading Favorite Rivers around the World

We reluctantly take our leave of Japan.

D, K and Z in Japan, Day 14

August 28, 2013March 15, 2019 ~ Activated Adventurers ~ 1 Comment

Aug. 28, 2006: Tea and Shaolin Okay, we know. This is the 15th day of our trip, and also a Monday; so technically, we should be starting another week, right? Aha, gotcha! If you'll look back to Day 1 and Day 2, you'll see that for all practical purposes, they were the same day. And … Continue reading D, K and Z in Japan, Day 14

D, K and Z in Japan, Day 13

August 27, 2013February 18, 2019 ~ Activated Adventurers ~ Leave a comment

Aug. 27, 2006: Tokyo and Ghibli And now back, as promised, to Hayao Miyazaki. This was our day to tour the Ghibli Museum, dedicated to Miyazaki's animation studio, Studio Ghibli. Since there is no parking available at the museum in the Tokyo suburb of Mitaka, it's necessary to go by public transit, tour bus, bicycle, … Continue reading D, K and Z in Japan, Day 13

D, K and Z in Japan, Day 12

August 26, 2013February 11, 2019 ~ Activated Adventurers ~ Leave a comment

Aug. 26, 2006: Five Hundred Buddhas and a Hundred Caves This morning at breakfast we had nashi, or Japanese pears, which actually had the taste and texture of a pear masquerading as a jicama. We'd had something similar in the States, although never this good. Once again we all piled into the van and headed out for a field trip. … Continue reading D, K and Z in Japan, Day 12

D, K and Z in Japan, Day 11

August 25, 2013January 22, 2019 ~ Activated Adventurers ~ Leave a comment

August 25, 2006: Kumagaya City (and "Japanese pancakes") Our long day at Disney is now behind us, although that doesn't stop Zephyr and Kimberly from making everyone crack up with their spot-on imitations of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck respectively. We all slept in a bit late today, except that Toshihide was, as usual up … Continue reading D, K and Z in Japan, Day 11

D, K and Z in Japan, Day 10

August 24, 2013March 9, 2020 ~ Activated Adventurers ~ 1 Comment

Aug. 24, 2006: Tokyo Disney You know something's really afoot when our teenage son Zephyr gets up at 6:00 a.m. (Tokyo time, New York time, Los Angeles time or Timbuktu time), especially without someone dousing him with cold water and dragging him out of bed by his big toe. This morning was obviously special, because … Continue reading D, K and Z in Japan, Day 10
