Gifu
Prefecture Rocks.
Takayama was awesome. It was a very
last-minute, totally unplanned trip for me, but it ended
up that I chose a very good time to go there. The leaves
(maples in particular) were in their full autumn glory.
I'm not sure why, but my photo excursions
usually are last-minute decisions on my part. I guss
sometimes I just need to get away for a little while.
And I am so glad I decided to go explore
somewhere new instead of just deciding to go to Kyoto
again. As much as I love Kyoto (It is still me favorite
pace in Japan) Takayama and Shirakawa were just what
I needed.
I didn't have any time to do research
before I left so the trip was mostly a seat-of-my-pants
go-with-the-flow affair with a VERY lose schedule. And
this approach seems to be the perfect vacation plan
for me.
Think about it.
If you have no plan, then it is really
hard to fall behind schedule... :)

This will be a rather short update.
I want to make sure I spend enough time writing about
Takayama and Shirakawa so I can really do them justice.
Although the pictures show what beautiful places they
are, they only tell part of the story.
So for now I will just say that it
was one great vacation.
Just what I needed.
