We’re packing up and checking out of the hotel shortly, beginning the long haul back to home. I haven’t been blogging much not because we haven’t been having a good time; on the contrary, I suppose I haven’t been blogging much because we have been having a good time. Yesterday we took a local train to the Arashiyama area in Kyoto, a part of town we haven’t visited previously. We went to a large temple there (whose name currently escapes me–I’ll post it later) whose gardens currently have a dazzling array of blooming azaleas. Tracie was photographed by no less than six Japanese tourists while perched on the veranda of the temple overlooking the koi pond. They asked for permission first, of course.
Once we’re home I’ll go through my photos from this trip and post a bunch on my Flickr page, and put a note here when they’re up.
