"Wherever the Wind Blows... in Kobe"

"We could learn a lot from crayons:

Some are sharp, some are dull,

some are pretty, some have weird names,

but they still have to learn to live in the same box."

-Anon.

Sannomiya is a place for finding romance,

or something close to it.

And Motomachi is a place for finding your Zodiac,

Brooke being the snake,

Celestia, the ox.

Next to Harborland

is the Kobe Earthquake Memorial.

{A 20-second, 6.8-magnitude, 6,434-killing quake.}

A sober place,

as you may imagine.

Cute Brooke

in a rock.

Maybe the pirates will let me

borrow their ship

so I can sail home for the weekend

to see you all

before spring break's over.

He'll be the next Bruce Lee;

you can see it in those eyes.

Liz flew home to America,

Lisa is bussing up to Tokyo,

Leon's on his way to Germany soon,

leaving Brooke & Celestia

and me

together for a few more days.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.
