Well, after a trip to busy Osaka and all this talk of hard work, maybe it was time to "stop and smell the roses" and soak up the other sights at the Kyoto Botanical Garden. So on a pleasant Sunday afternoon in May 2010, I donned my "spring suit" and together with Ritsuko headed off for an afternoon of strolling around the garden. Although it is more of a European style garden, there are still the little Japanese touches here and there. I hope I can go back again and again in other months and see what's different.
Note 03/10/2011: We are hosting a couple from Australia at the moment, so I'm not sure how many opportunities I'm going to get to post over the next 2 weeks.
