Big Sis, Little Bro, Great Buddha

There's not too many things that I can claim dominance at over Nicki, but one thing that I generally hold as truth is that I'm a better photographer. Then she goes to Kamakura and has a day like today.

Nicki's brother, David, is in town visiting. I had separate plans today with Josh to visit Sarushima ("Monkey Island") with a few other guys, so Nicki took the opportunity to have a sister/brother day and they hit the tracks to Kamakura to visit the beautiful Hase area. During their early morning adventure, they were able to catch both the Great Buddha (Daibutsu) and Hase-Dera, which to me is one of the quintessential temples of Japan - though I'm admittedly no expert on such matters.

Nicki took the camera with her today, so I'll have to rely on other guys in my group for pictures from Monkey Island, but Nicki was able to take some really great shots of David during their adventure in Japan's former capital. There's a few up now on the Gallery page dated 08/11/2007.

Next on the David Does Japan tour, a visit to Japan's current capital, Tokyo. Stay tuned...
