Hello!! Today’s excursion was to Ginkakuji (the silver pavilion) in the rain.
We did stop by a craft market which was held nearby in the grounds of a shrine. All nice and muddy underfoot but it was great to see what people are making and selling here (professional interest from Maureen and myself!!)

Ginkakuji has its origins in 1482!!!

The moss gardens and area surrounding the buildings are gorgeous

The raked sand is fabulous

I did a lap of the garden area with Maureen and used my usual camera, then put that away and did another quick lap with the tablet so I could blog something.



You get a bit of elevation and a decent view.


All so lush and green!

Even a glimpse up through the forest.

It’s still raining here as I sit and type. Got most of our clothes dry and ready for tomorrow. We’ve got a day planned out with friends!
