Golden Temple

August 10, 2017

Kyoto, Japan


Our lazy mornings get us out the door by 11:00. The trip to the north end of the city takes up most of the early afternoon. Kinkakuji, the Golden Temple, is a beautiful Zen-Buddist temple. The 45-minute bus ride was worth it. So many Japanese maple trees. The only difference from the times I have seen it before is the number of tourists.



The boys can not understand my interest in fabric. They opted out of my shopping afternoon to cool off in the apartment.
But these Japanese indigoes are hard to leave behind. And Jack is one helluva Sherpa.
The evening is too wet and rainy to go out. Keeping everyone contained in this rabbit hutch requires two decks of cards and a crib board. 
Our tiny apartment is too cozy. Those tiny house hunters are crazy!
