Said goodbye to Nagasaki today! We did everything there is to do there — zip lined over the stadium, tried all the local beer, saw the sights — and I can't say enough good things about it.
Now: north, for one more game. #GiravanzKitakyushu, see you soon!

Checked in, grabbed sushi from the grocery store attached to the stadium (?), watched opening ceremonies involving dragons…
And we're off! #VVarenNagasaki #SaganTosu #JLeague

The walk to Peacewing stadium is gorgeous — we went up along the river, saw lingering sakura and a boat with #SanfrecceHiroshima flags.

Off to Hiroshima! We're in for a busy weekend — trying to fit in as many matches as possible.
Sanfrecce's stadium is a personal favorite. It's gorgeous, nestled between rivers, and right in the city. I can't wait to get back. #JLeague

It's actually a lot less wet than it looks! For us, anyway. The players, on the other hand…

We're back! A whirlwind trip this time — starting with #FCTokyo tonight.
(And here's a fun thing: a new camera! Brace yourself for way too much pano.)
