It was a stunning ride!

A must have for long train rides!

Thanks Kat!!!

Thank you!!!

The train to Osaka.

"The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as possible."

–The Language of the Night, 1979, Ursula K Le Guin.
