Once again time keeps getting the best of me. But to my credit, it's been a heck of a couple of weeks. Almost three weeks ago, I was in a car accident, and though I'm okay and the bruising is finally gone, it made me kind of tired and I slept an awful the week or two after. I'm still hoping that the seat belt mark on my neck disappears--there's still a pinkish spot that looks a bit like a permanent rash.
Then my husband and I went on a little honeymoon trip. It was a very welcome respite.
We had a lovely time touring the northern half of Kyushu. We spent a day and night in Fukuoka sampling the cuisine there and walking around to all the sites.
Then we went down to Kumamoto to see the glorious castle there.
We spent the night in Aso among the volcanoes and amidst the rain.
The last full day we drove through the lovely Yufuin onsen resort area and headed to Beppu, where we saw
jigoku meguri, or Hell's Tour, eight natural hot springs where the lava is so close to the surface of the earth the water boils and mixes with the various soils and clays to create some very interesting and uninviting pools.
We ended the day having dinner with my husband's cousins that live in the area.
The day after we got back, we discovered that my dad had been rushed to the hospital for an emergency surgery, and the last few days have been spent in a state of suspension. He is doing much better now, so we are all sighing with relief. Though I am anxiously waiting for my hub's visa, so we can get to see my family soon.
So there you have it. All through it, though, I've been knitting... can't wait to share it with you.
