Grateful for:
- Visiting Ryonaji Temple and seeing what is touted as quintessence of zen art – rock garden with 15 rocks set in gravel. I must admit that it was beyond me and I simply didn’t “get it”… or maybe I have not meditated enough in front of it.
- Traversing the town from east to west through back streets and getting a glimpse of how Japanese city dwellers live.
- Seeing many beautiful temples on the way to and from our destination.
- Continuously getting new prospects from Vanuatu.
- Getting to bed earlier and earlier each day.
