Leave photos during 1998-99

My father put me to shame with his energy when he was in Japan taking pictures and organizing them. After I got them on the web for him I decided I should do something myself. So, here are some pictures which I have scanned in on my little portable scanner. Some we just picked up somewhere, some are taken by me and others by Saul. These will be updated regularly, but probably never finished. Two stars for great photos, one for variety.
