Shuzenji

We arrived at Michiko's home...oh so good to see her and her family 😍 Rea has 3 children?! Wow! Time sure does pass quickly...sigh...we were so busy catching up I forgot to take more pictures of her! We also got in a very short visit with Toru, Atsumi and Yumi. Sooo good! Yumi has opened a workshop coffee cafe and we went to visit her there. She is so creative and talented. Not only with hand embroidery, but fabric dying and painting too. Can’t wait to  share her story with my quilting group!

Yumi, Michiko, Brent

We went for a walk through Shuzenji and came across a friend of Michiko's that owns a very beautiful hotel and she invited us for a tour of the gardens

Spiders are HUGE!

The late afternoon plan was to go to an outdoor anime show. There is a lot of what is said that is lost in translation on my part anyway. We stopped here along with my heart....gulp...

...long story... short...I had a nice visit with Michiko at a nearby restaurant over tea 🤪

I think Brent did a great job taking pictures 😘

Archery in the crater

Dinner at a fast food restaurant ...so cool...

Well the anime show turned out to be a light show...amazing! Question of the day...if one light bulb burns out, do they all go out?!
