McDonaldās ā Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
McDonaldās are everywhere. I have flown around the globe and if there is one constant thing I have seen everywhere, it is the Golden Arches. This trip to Japan is no different. Although Iāve been in Japan for a few weeks, today was the first day I had Japanese McDonaldās. We stopped by one ofā¦

A Quick Visit to Senso-ji in Tokyo, Japan
Nikko was a wonderful place to visit. As it poured down and we left the town, we werenāt entirely sure what was ahead of us. We hoped less rain than the torrential downpour we were driving through. However, one never knew what was coming next. Either way, to get āhomeā meant driving toward and throughā¦

Autumn in Nikko ā Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
Nikko is a couple of hours north in Japan from where Iām staying. Getting there involves a drive through Tokyo (and a REALLY long tunnel) that continues through the countryside and then into the mountains. Nikko itself is nestled in the middle of the mountains. As we drove and got closer to the town Iā¦

Another Stop in Kamakura ā Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
One of the great things about Japan is that there are lots of trains. Because there are lots of trains, there are also a lot of opportunities to go on adventures. One adventure that Iāve really been enjoying is taking the train to Kamakura. Really, I should say taking the train to different parts ofā¦

One of my favorite places to visit is the region surrounding Santa Cruz, CA. There are some absolutely beautiful places to visit nearby, some more obvious than others.

Bringing Christmas to Haiti
It is hard to believe that a day could be more exhausting than yesterday but I think it might have happened. While today was not as physically exhausting, it definitely was emotionally. Although it was emotionally exhausting, it wasnāt in a bad way. It was an emotional journey that I imagine will stick with everyoneā¦

A Hot Day in Haut-Limbe, Haiti
Today seemed to be warmer than yesterday. Iām not sure if it really was in fact hotter or if we were just more active. Either way, it was a very warm and busy day in Haiti. The morning began with breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast at the hotel is always awesome because there is someā¦
