Stormchasing

We busted out of Takayama a day early because we'd heard that Super Typhoon Melor was on its way and that there would be no rail service available. So we coughed up a night's lodging at the Best Western and jumped on a late evening Shinkansen bullet train for Kyoto, the last stop in our trip.

We're excited to be staying at the Miyako Hotel in Kyoto, a classic. The image on the blog header was pulled from http://www.travelbrochuregraphics.com. The site showcases the travel ephemera collection of a former colleague of mine. Quite a collection and a very cool site if you have the time to get to the website.
