The farewell tour of Japan continues! Last night we went out with Alexi and Violeta and soaked in the ambience of downtown Osaka. The Hotel Conrad Osaka is located Nakanoshima Island in the Aji River. Osaka is a city of canals and rivers leading from the inland mountains emptying out in Osaka Bay. It was such a delightful evening, with amazing views of the lights of Osaka, live music, delicious cocktails and most importantly, good friends.

I’ve had many good nights in Osaka. For someone coming from a town of 900 people in the forests of northern Michigan, I am still awed by big cities after all these years.
A big thank you to Alexi and Violeta for driving and introducing us to such a beautiful venue! You are always welcome to our home in T-kent!
