Japan 2009






In late June to early July, 2009, I traveled as a chaperone to 36 Seattle students on a cultural exchange trip to Kyoto and Kanzawa. These are the only two major cities in Japan that were NOT bombed or burned during WWII, hence the remarkable history and temples in tact. Daitoku Junior High School in Kanazawa gave us a warm welcome and a wonderful stay.
