Summer

sunset viewed from my window, June 12thToday was the first really hot day, with temperatures reaching at least 30 degrees, a perfect blue sky with some white clouds…

I went out for a stroll in the afternoon, along the Kamo to one of the Zen temples in Kyoto. I walked through the gardens there and then back home again, taking breaks at the river, watching people passing by.

When I came home, my room was still sunny and hot, and I have been drinking ice water ever since. I must remember to bring more water on my expeditions…

In the evening, there was a beautiful sunset and an early moon gracing the view from my window.

I love this place…
