Date: December 23, 2006
Location: Ohara (approx 1 hour bus ride from Kyoto in the countryside)
Who?: Laura and Mr. Yamamoto
Sanzen-in
[Click on the picture above to get a better view of the little statues in the moss!]
[When we saw this guy in the tree Yamamoto-san and I both thought of a certain someone who may or may not have cut down a certain tree in the backyard this summer…ahem…dad…Maybe you can come here and do an apprenticeship or something?]Jakkoin Temple
This temple was smaller than Sanzen-in but it's famous for choosing nuns from noble families as head priestesses (perhaps a girl power temple?). Unfortunately, the temple was badly damaged in a fire in 2000 but they have rebuilt and repaired since then. And get this – in the garden there is a waterfall that, according to the pamphlet, was designed ‘with each of the three stages at a different height and angle, to produce different tones that harmonize with each other’!!

Gorgeous pictures, L'Ell! I can't help but feel calmer when I look at them; I know you must be having a FANTASTIC time over there.
(P.S. Heroes & Gilmore Girls have started up again, so there are new episodes for you to download!)
Peeeeeeeeeeerdy.... Especially loving the little faces in the gardens. I'm going to have to get a few for my dad (the one thing he doesn't yet have in his garden).
I've been waiting for you to post something for some time. Remember: I'm little vicariously through my friends at the moment, and Aaron is slacking somewhat in his email communications.
Talk to you soon - and miss you.

Ps. Steph is indeed correct: Heroes is gradually picking up some (not yet House until Jan 30). The new episodes will be in the next (eventual shipment). So how's that stack of DVDs going?
Pps. Lost = Feb 7. That is all.
