surprised gabi with a trip to the boonies of fukuoka to pick super cute “stwoobweries”. little did i know that my grand plan of calling a taxi to and from the bus stop was futile from the start. there was no taxis there. no uber. no go. no didi. nada… we walked, in the sun, in the sticks, an hour and a half, round-trip, and waited patiently for the singular bus—our one and only lifeline back to urban civilization— that served the area… mind you, this was after i’ve been up since midnight, a whole 14 hours prior, working remotely. what a sobering realization that was, but gabi was a trooper as much as i was and we survived.

photos were a little overexposed as it was pretty dang bright out: the singular sunny and clear day of a rainy week. not sure how to best adjust my camera to adapt to it, but i shall learn for next time!
