Yesterday, we visited the Kiyomizu-Dera Temple in Kyoto. It’s a beautiful temple!
It’s funny. I always thought pelicans and seagulls were oceanic birds. However, we actually have a ton of them in the midwest. For some reason the gulls like the Rivers (and the farms). You will see a lot of them in the water pooling in the rows of crops on the farm. And the pelicans show up with the eagles in winter. Now sure if they get confused by the river water or what, but hey! I get to see pelicans!!
The Monument at the War Memorial of Korean. Funny thing, I thought it was supposed to be the Korean War Museum (i.e. just that war), but it is actually dedicated to all the wars they’ve fought in. So it included stuff clear back to the ancient days. This monument though was their big dedication to the Korean War.
