Shimmon gets a little lost in the flower fields on Hokkaido.
I bought a frisbee this group of guys I seemed to get along with well played Ultimate in the afternoons to get the blood going after a day's lectures. It's the only photo I have of them, regretably.
Professor Richard Carwardine. He's got the white jacket. The guy on the left was in the class, otherwise everyone else in this picture is just part of the riff-raff you find in a pub in Oxford.
I'm not doing anything here, but I did paddle and formally hold the big stick when we went punting.
Shimmon was very startled by this monkey that was cooling off in his shadow.
I love the food market in Kyoto. Barrels of odd, but tantalizing items, and very friendly people.
Naoshima's famous pumpkin sculpture. Afterward two incredibly attractive Japanese women came up to get their photos with the pumpkin and while I cowered in shyness, SS happily had them posing every which way.
OK, this isn't a person. But after studying Lincoln forever on this trip, when I saw a monument to him in Edinburgh (also in London) I couldn't help but include this photo, because it starts to feel like you know him like a person.
"We have a piper down..."
This was the oddest fellow I chatted with at any point on my trip.
Punting, again. This is the other boat-load of peers in the program.
We were given a homework assignment to read Lincoln's first inaugural address. We took it to the pub and took turns reciting it. Pretty soon, all the Englishmen at the pub joined us.
The Eagle and Child is the pub that Tolkein and CS Lewis frequented, so it's a requisite stop in Oxford. This is me and Ali. I suppose she was a bit sweet on me, and while I don't know about that, she was fun to hang out with.
Stopping to smell the roses, on our last day in Japan.
Guy with a giant beer backpack. I know I'm not the only one who's had that dream.
Overwhelmed by the scope and quirkiness of the Kyoto train station.
