brief visit to Japan
A day in Nagasaki and on to South Korea. Photos should be up within hours. Big welcome for Queen Victoria here. Spent much of the morning at the Glover Garden - Thomas Blake Glover, from Scotland, lived here from 1859 till his death in 1911. He contributed to the introduction of modern science and technology into Japan. Along with the Walker brothers, he founded what is now Kirin Brewery Co. The afternoon was given to a tour of the Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture and to a walk in the Peace Garden.

Loved your hotel, Lois! Looks like an upscale place. Were you surprised?
Looks like the wx was dreary in Japan. Funny, in my memory, it was that way for the several short visits I made there. At least there was some green. Not much here as the winter lingers. Sign of spring: Craig has just posted invitation for our picks for NCAA's basketball March Madness!
I hope you atrranged to have a year's supply of Kirin delivered to LCDC !!
