Jellyfish, Jellyfish, Jellyfish

This photo is completely unedited - and yes it is almost solid moon jellyfish.

And yes - my troops and I had to make dives through this (these jellyfish don't possess nematocysts strong enough to penetrate human skin, so it doesn't hurt - unless you have sensitive or unusually thin skin).

The Velasco's Favorite Indian Restaurant

I wish La and the kids could have been there with me this last trip -

The name of this restaurant is Appu Ghar.

When we lived in Japan, the restaurant was located south of Hayama.

While visiting for business, some friends took me out (thanks again Dorian and Rhonda) and I was surprised they were heading North on the 134. Turns out Appu Ghar is now on the strip at Kamakura.

Awesome location - much cleaner presentation (although I'd be the first to say their old place had tons of character) - with a very modern, yet warm and distinctly indian charm.

This is still our favorite restaurant for Indian food -
