Wandering around Kagoshima…

A nice park by the port while we waited for the shuttle into town.

The calming blue sea. Take a deep calming breath and slowly let it out, releasing all your tensions with it. Or just look at the picture.

Another calming deep breath…

Lots of little signs all around the park


Downtown

The Japanese love their vending. We saw lots of banks of vending machines, but seldom a single standalone.

Outdoors

Indoors

A marker about something. No clue what.

A VERY popular chain in Japan. They are everywhere. There is a rumor about the Best Egg Salad sandwiches in the country.

Mount Sakurajima, which dominates the skyline, was “blowing off a little steam” the day we were there. It is an active volcano, and some say it may have a major eruption in the next twenty or so years.

Three views at different times of the day…

The Best. Notice the birds.

Volcano and Moon.

Sidenote: This was the second volcano we saw blowing off steam on this trip. The other was in Costa Rica.
