		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s outing was to the farm of Dr. Stapp&#8217;s former landlord Hitomi-san. Hitomi-san is a gentleman farmer of sorts. He was born and how lives in a house that his family has owned for over 300 years. His family used to be known for their archery prowess and his family crest still has arrows on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today our group visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. A few of us took a walk to see where the bomb hit. It turns out, our hotel was only a few hundred yards away from hypercenter, the place where the bomb would have hit the ground if it wasn&#8217;t an air burst. Of course you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I have decided to take up the challenge of packing lightly, with my laptop of course. For this trip I&#8217;m just taking only just what I&#8217;m going to wear the entire trip. If it works out then I&#8217;ll take less and less and just wash what I need. I eventually just want to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is pottery day. We got hit with a rainstorm as we made our way about 7 or 8 minutes away from our hotel to Sensei Nishijima pottery studio. Nishijima is a highly rated potter in Japan. He began when he was 20 years old and has been making pottery for 35 years. He showed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our day started off with a traditional Japanese breakfast at the hotel in our yucata robes. It was very different from breakfast in America, very vegetable heavy. I also think this is the first time that I&#8217;ve ever had tuna for breakfast. It was great! Next, we returned to the pagoda and the romantic pond [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today started with a run with my roommate, Tim. There is a famous monument about halfway up a steep hill overlooking Kameoka and at the top of the hill is another area with many more stone monuments and an observation tower with an even greater view. It has been tradition for the students of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we visited the Kyoto shrines of Kinkakuji and Ryoanji. Kinkakuji was built in the 13th century. In the 14th century, it became the home of one of the retired Ashikaga shoguns. When he died, he willed the temple to a Buddhist sect who made it a Zen temple. The name Kinkakuji means &#8220;golden pavilion,&#8221; [...]]]></description>
