Kyomizudera

On Saturday, with Ray at an away game, Roz and I and Sophie took a little excursion to Kyoto to see Kyomizu Temple (established in the 700's!!) and the surrounding area known for its pottery...

Despite the hoards of people, the weather held out for us and I was able to introduce Roz to the "true Japan"...

Sophie enjoyed herself too, doing what she does best...

We stopped for some very yummy lattes...

And had a nice meal at a quaint Jap-Italian restaurant...

A wonderful day indeed. When we returned to Otsu I ran up to the hospital to visit Sol. He is doing SO well. He just slept in my arms. The nurse confirmed that he is one healthy and growing baby boy. We will have him back with us next week!!
