Day 25
Today started with a fire drill at the temple, complete with sirens, trucks, and hosing down the buildings! Then we spent the afternoon at a temple under construction getting a new roof for the first time in 200 years. A nice break from being tourists!

At the end of a day of amazing coffee (in Japan?!), dramatic thunderstorms, and never-ending temples and shrines, happening upon this little modern house was a fun surprise.

In Osaka, rather than the seventh-inning stretch, the crowd releases squealing colored balloons into the stadium. The home team lost, but being at the game was so much fun! Go Tigers!

Day 16
Looking out from a little hilltop in the neighborhood of our temple home. Despite the intense Kyoto heat, the view was worth it and made for a nice place for a watercolor!
