Good News While Away

I got back from Palau tonight, after 17 hours of travel. I can sense myself missing the adventure of such a naturally beautiful place already. And while I'll have much more to say (and show) over the next few posts, I thought I'd share a little bit of good news I got during my time away.

I submitted some photographs for the 2010 JET Programme calendar and one was chosen! Here's the email:
Hello Vaughn,
Congratulations!!!
One of your photos has been selected to appear in the 2010 JET Programme Calendar. The attached photo will appear in the 2010 desk calendar as the cover.
As I told Dave (who was sitting right next to me and also had a photograph accepted for the contest), "I have officially entered the world of amateur photography."

Title: Shisa

and isn't that temple outside of Kyoto just amazing? did you hike through the forest to get there? one of the most memorable experiences of my trips to mainland.
Looking forward to more photos from Palau--looks stunning!
