Ok, so instead of a lengthy blog entry (which I admit I am overdue for one), I've finally been able to upload and title pictures from the first several days of my trip. There are about 60 pictures here and I've shared them through Kodak's sharing service. You don't have to log in if you don't want to - there's a link towards the bottom of the sign in screen that reads "View photos without signing in". Those of you with a Kodak EasyShare account can log in and save them, however

It should be noted that I've taken over 800 pictures in the past week of being here in Japan, so really this is just a small sampling. These took *forever* to upload. I might have to reduce the size of some of the others and upload them, but I figured everyone didn't want to look through 800+ photos. =)

After Kobe, I'll be in Beppu and I don't expect to have an internet connection there... so you might not hear from me until I reach Hiroshima, and then Tokyo...

Lastly, I've just realized that I think the time is off for my posts... right now it's almost 9am here on Sunday Oct 9, even though it's only like 8pm on Saturday night for most of you. Out partying it up I hope!! I know a few people celebrating birthday's today, heh (happy b-day Mike! And of course, Michele, Pat, and Grace too.. wow, lots of bdays today).

Well I'm off to Kobe in a few hours... hopefully I'll have a chance to post again soon! For now, enjoy the pics! =)
