A Year In Review (Part Two)



August: A month of visiting the Philippines, of beautiful sunsets, delicious breakfasts, and snorkelling in turquoise waters for days on end.


September: A month of saying goodbye to my home, Japan.




October: A month of China, Mongolia, and Russia, of trains and more trains, of homestays, gers, hotels and, finally, a flight to Canada.

November: A month visiting the Grand Canyon, Halifax, and Toronto, of family and friends.

I haven't uploaded any photos of December to my computer yet (I'm always behind on those kinds of things), but it was a month of finally getting to my hometown, Winnipeg, spending time with family, and drinking way too much eggnog. See January to July here.

Overall, it was a very good year. There were ups and downs, but mostly ups, and really, what more can you ask for? I hope that you, too, had a good year, and that 2011 brings you everything you desire.

Happy New Year!

Hi,
I've read your blogs at LJ and followed the link you posted to your new blog. I am fascinated by your traveling life; it is something I'd love to do more of, to travel and write.. anyway, I love how you mentioned the Philippines in your post, with the matching photos. That's where I grew up, and definitely plan to come back and travel within the country.
