We had a lazy start to Steve's morning off. Then enjoyed a walk to sites closeby. This woman was preparing for a ceremony in the Temple:
Sign at the temple:
Another day of gorgeous blue skies.
I need to look up why all the temples are on hills with long staircases!
Then we walked along a tree-lined path back to the Kodokan. I'll spare you the play-by-play this time. You can read about it a few posts back.
This was the only tree we saw, which was starting to bloom:
Little door where chamber pots were emptied in the morning.
Noelle's favorite shogun!
Eastern style toilet:
Back at our hotel. This is our window view, a wedding area. The other guests stay inside and only the bride and groom come down the stairs. Then she tosses her bouquet to the waiting ladies. She had to toss twice, because it didn't "land" in anyone's hands. They literally stood there and let it fall to the ground, rather than our customary scramble to grab it. 
They let out a bunch of heart balloons, then went back in for their reception. A night one we saw had fireworks.
Train station views. The young lady was very typically dressed in shorts.
I saw tons of school children again and a mailman. Maybe they have seven day weeks like Steve, since he was back at work too!
My last sunset in Japan before stepping back in the door of our hotel. This afternoon/evening Steve's picking up his customer from the airport. Tomorrow I head back home and his work increases. Doesn't seem fair, I got to see so many very cool things, while he saw his office. How blessed I am...
