I thought I'd share where we went today. It was a tiny town preserved in much the same way it was built hundreds of years ago as an outpost in the Wakasa area of South Western Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
The English on this page is an example of automatic translation and it is a hoot! It is fun to read it just for the laughs.
Wish you were here.

You know I don't recommend Microsoft products, but I know that there are alot of you using those products and I thought you might want to know that you can use Word to post to your blog now:
About Blogger for Word
Blogger for Word is a free add-in for Microsoft Word that lets you save a Word document as a post to your Blogger blog with just a few clicks, and without even opening up a browser. Blogger for Word makes it even easier to express yourself online, save your documents to the web, and edit your work both online and off.
With Blogger for Word, publishing a Word document to your blog is just as seamless as saving it to your computer, and it's easy to get started; all you need to do is download and install the Blogger for Word add-in, and three buttons appear in your Word toolbar:
- Publish creates and publishes a new post from the text in your document.
- Open Post enables you to edit your last 15 Blogger posts in Word.
- Save as Draft enables you to keep a post unpublished; it will appear in your Blogger account, but not publicly on your blog.
System Requirements
The Blogger for Word add-in requires Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher and Microsoft Word 2000 or higher. You can use your existing Blogger username and password; if you need a Blogger account, sign up now for a free account and blog.
