Traveling alone, not lonely.

Wordless Wednesday: Faces of Japan

Like most everyone, I’ve had Japan on the brain since last Friday’s earthquake, tsunami and now nuclear power plant situations. I devout today’s Wordless Wednesday to some of the people I met along the way during my Oct. 2004 trip to Japan. I extend my thoughts and prayers to the Japanese people.
