Let's hope that Iceland continues to move toward a ban whaling.

One of the last countries to allow whaling is taking steps that could lead to a ban, following a shift in public opinion.

Even in the rain, Kyoto is a magical place! We had our tea ceremony yesterday along with an exploration of Kodaiji Temple and the old town. On arrival in Kyoto we visited a Samaurai center for a show and demonstration. Enjoy just a few of the photos yet to come!
