Sumimasen

This is only a test.  If this had been an actual blog, I would have filled it with photos of my stay in Japan, if I could.  As it is, I am only posting a stock internet photo of Kyoto no tsuyu, Kyoto in the rainy season, which apparently is usually the first two or three weeks of June.

I bet it's not really this rainy in the rainy season

If there's any weather I like in the summer more than rain it's probably a combination of rain and fog.

If I can get this blog up and running and if I have frequent access to the internet when I get to Kyoto and if my camera is compatible with it and if one or two other things, I will be posting, I hope, from time to time, while I'm in Japan, mostly because people have asked me whether I were going to do that.
