Met up with one of my NU Grad sons and his family here on Spring Break. In a country that does not traditionally celebrate Easter we chanced upon an Easter Egg hunt that was followed by a visit to Himeiji Castle where the emerging Cherry Blossoms added to the Easter experience.

A belated Happy Easter to all.

(FWIW the group photo was posed specifically tp memorialize a scene filmed there in the James Bond film, "You Only Live
Twice." As I best recall Sean Connery as James Bond went up the pictured walkway to enter the Ninja School that the castle was being used for in the movie.)

We got back from a ten day trip last Wednesday. Spent time in Tokyo, Hakone and Kyoto. Loved every minute of it!
