I'm not a cat person but this temple was pretty cute. The largest one cost ¥5000, smallest was ¥300 and about the size of a cell phone charm. Right paw up is for welcoming, people, left for money. #manekineko #gotokuji #cattemple #東京 #ネコ #招き猫
It's a 40' (12 m) fall from that veranda to the ground and legend has it that if one survives the fall/jump a wish would be granted. We were hungry and opted for lunch instead. #🍜 We arrived around 8:30 am to avoid tour groups and school trips; it opens at 6 am and was packed by 9:30. #Kyoto #京都 #kiyomizudera #清水寺
Reminiscent of "Labyrinth." @margarettewolfe and I navigated using directions in lipstick. #bamboozled #totheleft ⬅️ #arashiyama #嵐山#bambooforest #kyoto #京都
Writer, cookier, wife and stay at home mom. The Navy has moved us (in the following order) to Annapolis, Maryland; Charleston, South Carolina; Balston Spa, New York; Groton, Connecticut; Kings Bay, Georgia; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; back to Groton, Connecticut; back to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Yokosuka, Japan, Dam Neck, VA; back to Pearl Harbor; Newport, RI; Monterey, CA and now back to Japan. We'll see where else it takes us, but for now I'm just going with the flow. I enjoy every minute of it and am a sponge when moving to new places.
