By the way... we decided NOT to go back to LA and stay here on Yakushima island...
Okay... just kidding...
But seriously...
I always feel nostalgic leaving this place and will always be that way. I am thankful for having another chance to stay here for a good chunk of time... and for Satchi and Coco to experience being here. I am thankful that Frido and I worked on an amazing design project dedicating this trip as a mutual inspirational investment. I am thankful that we came here healthy and leaving healthy (after one dislocated elbow and cold with high fever...) I am thankful for having to learn so much about life again... and I am thankful to getting to know my grandparents little bit more.
Tomorrow we leave here and will spend next two nights in Kagoshima. Then few hours in Tokyo... before we board on another midnight flight to head back to LA.
