On Wednesday, June 28, 2017, Jody and I returned to Kamakura. The trip was designed primarily to visit with Jody's brother-in-law, Jeff Horner, who was visiting his son, daughter-in-law, and family. However, it also included a meaningful reunion for Jody with her long-time college friend, Sachiyo Tahira, who she had not seen in 20 years when Jody was last visiting in Japan where Sachiyo lives. In addition, we also got to visit the seaside town of Enoshima.
Downtown Kamakura and the Tori Gate directly across from the train station where we're to meet Jeff.
Jeff's son, Thomas, Jeff, and me.
The teeming streets of Kamakura.
The first of many Hydrangeas that were in full bloom.
We all started out by walking about a mile to the local Bamboo Forest site
Along with us were Jeff's son's wife, Nance and their daughter, Morgan. Here we are at the gate leading to the Bamboo Forest.
There are always girls and women in kimonos around getting their picture taken.
Daddy's Little Girl.
 Upon our return to downtown Kamakura, we walked across a scenic bridge and discovered a beautiful lake strewn with lillly ponds. |
And, but of course, another shrine.
What a fun day and a great opportunity to visit with Jeff and his family in Japan.
