Our Lotus-Land morning, part 2

We were also very fortunate to be taken to Daikaku-Ji - also in the Arashiyama area. This extraordinary set of buildings functioned first as a palace in the 9th century, and was later converted into an important center for Shingon Buddhism. I've been fascinated by the scale of all of these incredible structures, because they tend to be small; Bob and I had to duck to get through various walkways that were part of this temple (and in special temple slippers that were a wee bit small for our big American feet).

We hear you. We know that we can't send all of our time looking at pictures of French rugby players. That's why we're now spending our time looking at pictures of French firefighters. Merci a Ohlala .
