On our second day in Kamakura, Jody and I visited another temple in the morning. Like so many others, it was known for its beautiful gardens and in this case, its Hydrangeas.
Another beautiful rock garden.
With an unexpected sunbather.
So cute.,
Now, did Jody wear blue on purpose?
After the temple visit, Jody and I returned to downtown Kamakura and linked up with her long-time friend from Emory College, Sachiyo Tahira, for a lovely lunch at a French restaurant. Jody had not seen Sachiyo in over 20 years when Jody was last in Japan. It was a wonderful opportunity for Jody to get together with her old friend.
And after lunch, we went back to the store we had been in when we first visited Kamakura and I purchased a samurai sword. Banzai!
