Fourteen Years Ago Today

I knew that it was about this time of year, but I didn’t realize until I went and found the pictures that it was exactly fourteen years ago today.

The Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, maybe a third of the way up the mountain. I had been trying to take a selfie and some wonderful woman grabbed the camera and took it for me. This is one of my favorite pictures of me in my travels.

I loved this trip in its entirety. Three weeks, three kids, three countries. Shanghai, Seoul, and Kyoto. One of my biggest adventures.

In particular I loved Fushimi Inari. I would go back there and visit in a heartbeat.

If you ever get a chance, go.
