It’s been a few weeks at least since I returned from Sasebo Japan.  I immediately started working on editing my photos on my laptop, and then promptly forgot my laptop on the sofa only to remember it this morning realizing that I still had photos on it. Whoops! Life happens, I suppose…

I didn’t really feel like doing much on our day off of work, so I slept in a little bit and then met up with Yuli to go wandering. After walking through the park and around town for a while Yuli wanted to climb some stairs and get a view of the city.  After letting my legs and lungs recover (note to self: go hiking more) I realized we were at this lovely red shrine.  Rashell had been talking about a shrine in the area and I think we just found it!

The shrine wasn’t really very large, so it only took us a little while to check it out and take a few pictures.  Upon further review of google maps there are quite a few little shrines and temples scattered around Sasebo! Next time I might take a hike up to a few of those more off the beaten path!

After this excursion, Yuli and I were ready for dinner so we headed back to the hotel through the Ginza mall.
