Japan is a thunderclap of pure, distilled Amazing. The sights, sounds, and people leave me stunned and amazed every time.

Lionfish at Grills Seafood Deck in Cape Canaveral
Deep “froiled” lionfish is now one of the first things I’ll associate with Cape Canaveral. A biological neon danger sign should flash red over lionfish in the wild.
