Japan Three

Hi there!

This is Maureen with our accommodation host Mikiko. A really lovely lady whom I have known for a number of years now.

I was lucky enough that she started her own accommodation business so we could stay in such a wonderful location in Kyoto.

Here is a photo of me trying to be contrite after bossing Maureen about on how-to take the photo!!

Today’s plan was to go to a flea market in this location.

Mikiko was most put out when it just wasn’t there! We all love markets so that was a disappointment but all was certainly not lost as Heian Shrine is pretty spectacular.

We decided to go into the garden and despite the cherry blossoms being done, it was such a lovely place to wander through and absorb.

Original street car! This actually went down teramachi st where we are staying!

Structures for Wisteria…hinting strongly to Jeff about constructing me one for ours. He will get bonus Husband Points if he starts it before I get home.

Bit of an image dump… have to go to bed as a longer day planned tomorrow so I am now speed-blogging.

I love how the garden paths curve in and around…always makes you want to keep going to see what is around the next bend.

White wisteria on this very cool and sturdy looking structure that would look excellent beside the chook house…

(Yes I think I am funny)

Right…thats all from The Land of the Rising Sun for tonight!
