sereneI didn't even break the seal on my new writing journals. Nor did I read a page of the three writing books I took. And only a handful of the hundred people (no exaggeration) who asked for postcards got them.
All of which is to say that this trip didn't give me much time (and I didn't have much inclination) for writing, so this is the first time I've written about the experience short of the postcards and letters I did get around to sending.
The short version is that I am glad I went, and really glad to be home. The longer version feels like it may come out in trickles.
Some random things:
* Boy howdy, them Japanese folks sure do like their sweet red bean paste.
* Thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wild_irises -- was it you who told me to say "Sumimasen" a really lot?
* If I exhibit half the serenity and grace the participants did (eleven of them, aged 19-24, with various disabilities), I'm in good shape.
* Traveling is a pain in the ass no matter who you are or how able your body is.
* I love my bed. I mean, I love the people I share it with, too, but I so fucking love my fucking BED.
