Ihave hit the wrong button again. Looks like it is cranking there. I have no idea if the language is going to work or not.?There is a few buttons out of place and when I hit them it changes language. I am finally over my jet lag now. We are 14 hours ahead of you.

In Kyoto for the next 5 days. Saw the big Budda in Nara Yesterday. Wish I could have sailed the 90 degrees on the 14th. 75 degrees and sunny today. Hey Coach ant idea how to acess the english version of hotmail?

Sorry dude - not sure how to get to the English version. I do know that it uses the computer you are on to detect the default language and use that.

How do you like Kyoto? We went to an awesome restaurant there that is owned by a friend of my wife. I'll have to ask her what the name is.

Have fun!

I like it very much. I have now learned how to download my photos from my digital camera to a dvd. So that will help a lot. I visited Nijo castle, Kinkaku-ji Temple ( made of 22 carate gold) and Ryoan-ji Temple (Rock garden) \
Today I am visiting Sugimoto's house.
I will try to post a very photo's to my website. If I can remember the access sites....24c here today. Hurry up and let the lakes warm up before I get back.
I am staying at the Hearton Hotel Kyoto. off of the corners of Oike Dori and Karasuma Dori If that is close to your wife7s friends restaurant...

coach Any idea how I can upload a jpg photo to my web site. I am using Editlive software? Or is it just that I am at a kinko's in Japan and they have safety protocalls on their systems here. Just a shot You might have some ideas. I forgot to brush up on my Japanese before I left.

if you have time, visit soapland, but don't bring your wife.

I can guess what soapland is. Since I just had a lecture from and American turned Buddhist Monk yesterday and learned about Karma I think I should be careful......If I was in the USA at 35 degrees Latitude (north /south cord. right?) Where would I be in the states if I was directly south of MN? Anyone know?

35 degrees Latitude, south of MN, would put you almost in the middle of Arkansas, just north of Little Rock. This is a little south of Oklahoma city, or Memphis if you are more familiar with those locations.

Have a great trip!
