Japan
October 11 - 16 2005
views from the hotel
each night on our pillow an origami swan
the fabulous chandeliers in the lobby
Sensoji Temple - the oldest in Tokyo, built in 638
purifying the hands and mouth before entering the temple
the smoke from the incense is rubbed into the hair and skin as a blessing
In the market surrounding the temple
the restaurant where we had lunch - Miami Gardens (really)
Shinjuku at night
another temple, this in Harajuku
preparing guacamole, taking a Tex-Mex tradition and making it very Japanese with artful tableside preparation
some Tokyo views
