Wandering

Tomorrow I'm leaving for South Africa. I'll attempt to keep my posts aligned with the subject matter of the blog (although I may have trouble finding nostalgic reminders in South Africa).

Although I'll miss my little monkeys while I'm gone, I've enjoyed traveling alone the couple of times I have done so in the past. I'm a wanderer anyways, so it's nice not to have a set schedule or itinerary to follow. Below are some images I captured during these "wandering" moments when I had no idea what I was looking for.


Grove of pines on Emperor's grounds - Tokyo


Kyoto


Stumbling upon this-Kyoto


Or this 13th Century Church (I'm standing inside looking out)...somewhere in Eastern Ireland


The cows seemed to notice that I was an out of towner as I walked past them...



These trips were four years ago. I've changed a bit since then and am probably not as much of a "wanderer" as I used to be. I wouldn't change a thing about those trips to Japan and Ireland, however, and hopefully I still have some of that wandering spunk in me. I think I do.
