Oh what a trip!

My wife and I got there on Wednesday, bright and early, and because the weather was so beautiful we went out to Arashiyama, to the northwest, to look at some of the beautiful landscape and a temple or two. But first, o course, I had to go to Bo-oku toishi^?, a little honeshop I found through www.kyotoishi.com, the website of the "Kyoto Natural Hone Sales Association". It's only about 4 minutes walk from the station...and my wife was agreeable.

I'm glad I did!
