Two years ago, to the day, I was wrapping up the last few days on a guided tour through the island of Honshu in Japan. I am not normally a fan of guided tours that feel like a roller coaster ride, especially in a country like Japan where you can barely peel the surface of the complex subcultures of this diverse country. Between language barriers, the lack of any planning effort, or large mob mentality, I could never grasp the history and origins of a particular culture or place and thereby immerse myself as I normally try to do. It may not have been the right way to travel in Japan, but considering it was also one last goodbye to many friends whom I have known dearly for two years, it was worth the tradeoff.
Despite these barriers, I still felt a sensory overload: visual, aural, and oral. There was just so much happening on this whirlwind of a trip through different places, and the smells, the sights, and the sounds have taken quite a bit of time for my brain to process. My camera managed to preserve certain moments of time while the journal managed to capture some of the memories and emotions I felt as I traveled through very diverse locales and cities. And yet, I feel that I have barely scratched the surface of the experiences I have had.

Temperance at six months old. I don't have too many pictures of her in this age bracket because she was so unhealthy and missing so much fur :l You can't tell too much in this picture and it shows how happy and strong she was through it. She was the first rescue dog that I just couldn't let go... even when I got her a clean bill of health. I don't know if it was the year long battle of every possible thing that could go wrong, and then overcoming it or the bond we formed through our rocky roads. She's by far got one of the closest spots in my heart <3

Just look at this stylishly beautiful Nash! What I found most interesting about this ad is the advertised 15-50mph in 13sec! Whoa!? Ha ha ha ha! We sure have come a long way...
A lot of family cars can do the 1/4mile in what this Nash here can climb up to 50mph from 0, And a handful in what it does it from 15mph!
But then again. Look how stylish it is... Its no Prius! Its beautiful....

Two varieties of Pepsi that do away with evil corn syrup and use actual sugar for actual good taste.
Natural apparently is here to stay, but throwback was already officially off the market when we discovered it in foothill gas stations.
DeGrazia ceramics were made from original molds. His inspirations were taken from desert shapes and colors. Many of these ceramics had a special glaze he created. One of the main ingredients to the glaze was oxidized copper. After this was added, the ceramics had to be fired in a kiln at an extremely high temperature in order for them to turn the beautiful blue turquoise color DeGrazia was best known for. Happy Throwback Thursday!
We are pleased to announce our upcoming exhibit "Modernist Ceramics of Ted and Marion DeGrazia”! An opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 5-7 pm on Friday, September 2nd, 2016, at the Gallery in the Sun.
DeGrazia said, “When I say I am intimately acquainted with every adobe in my studio, I mean it. I put them up. And as I felt the need for more room, I added another studio–-–one for display, one for painting, one for ceramics, one for living quarters.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
This week we are going back eleven years to 2013 and to AX 526 on route 47 in Sandymount. The modern route 47 to Belarmine started in 2008, though the closest it got to the city centre was Donnybrook. In 2010 it was extended to the city centre, but it was not sent via Sandymount until 2012, when it partially replaced route 3 under Network Direct.
The bus is seen here on St. John's Road about to turn onto Strand Road. It, along with route 1, was rerouted away from here in 2021, with both routes sent along Park Avenue instead.
AX 526 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn in 2021. 05/01/2013
