Each day we walk through the Temple grounds to make our way to the footbridge that crosses the river. There are several pots planted with water lilies. The buds are closed tightly in the morning but by noon they are fully open like this one!
We discovered another very good restaurant tucked away on a side street a few minutes away. It’s Japanese and called Kitchen Hush.
It’s a pretty space,
…and the food is plentiful and delicious. This is a meal of flavorful miso soup, salmon over Japanese rice and interesting condiments.
Our days have been very relaxed. Sometimes yoga in the morning, exploring the city in the afternoon and reading. I’ve just finished The Winter Soldier by Daniel Mason (thank you Chris L. For the recommendation) and Larry is reading Faulkner short stories. Larry’s techno-savvy abilities allow us to watch all of our favorite TV shows in the evening if we want. We’ve settled into a nice routine.
The city is preparing for the Chinese New Year coming up on February 5. Each day we see more and more red lanterns!
Cheers!
