Almost 2 months?! Where have I been?! If you guessed traveling, you’d be correct! I just don’t seem to make it to my laptop too often when I’m on the road. At the end of November, Dan and I took a shinkansen (bullet train) down to Kyoto and had an amazing weekend of sight seeing! December was a whirlwind of activities for and with our running club, Hash House Harriers, and then we were off to Oregon to surprise my family for Christmas!<\/p>\n

But I’ll back up and recap our amazing trip to Kyoto!
\nReady to see the sights! First stop: Nanzenji Temple
