I am not going to write a lot on this one, other than to say we visited a beautiful Japanese shrine about halfway between Sasebo and Nagasaki. And we took some pictures, which we wanted to share. Though it was a bit chilly, we couldn't have asked for more beautiful sunlight and blue skies, nor for a more serene and revitalizing ambiance. Hope these pictures help capture that.
Feeding the koi.

The "to-ri" (gateway) to the shrine grounds.

A leaf bug and/or grasshopper we found. Just like the grasshopper in Mikawachi, this little guy (or gal) was completely at ease around Aria.
These photos are amazing Tricia! I love the photo of the leaves scattered softly in the rocky stream. The ones looking up into the leafy trees are beautiful too. Hope you, hubby, and little one are having a wonderful time. :) Think of you often; miss you lots!
