Manholes of Japan for Tom and Nancy Verner

Here's a small assortment of manhole covers for the manhole specialist Tom V. Hope you enjoy them. They're from Kobe and Kyoto.

Just a quick up date on our present condition. We're hunkered down in Kowloon, a stone's throw from Hong Kong. 400 students took off for Beijing by plane, so the ship is quiet. D. and I and two friends explored Kowloon yesterday, visiting fouro markets, including bird, flower, jade and clothing. I took no fewer than 300 pictures. Today it's Hong Kong, Art Museum, parks and a few more markets, walking. And I have two sets of papers to work on. Later.
