Paradox Patch: Byodo-in Temple

Update to Trump Era Newcomers

Until I understand this EU Cookie law better I will leave Google's complimentary notice that this blog uses Blogger and Google cookies. These include Google Analytics and AdSense cookies. Also, I feel that I should warn that this blog was started in the style of and in response to the toxic commentary of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. I don't mince words and the people who cannot see common sense in my words or are deliberately uninformed may not like the way I express myself. I moderate comments because I have had stalkers that posted filth in response to my religion. I'm not afraid to post conflicting opinion comments but I filter threats and inappropriate language comments. This comes in response to the Trump Era. May it be shorter than 4 years. =)

Byodo-in Temple

So today I got to do something that I wanted to do soooo bad. Last time I was here my husband was terrified of getting lost so he wouldn't go to the Byodo-in Temple. I have this crazy fascination with all things Japanese. It's hard to explain but there are certain movies I love that are set in Japan and it's so beautiful but beneath the surface there is such ugliness. I guess that happens everywhere but this is different for me. I'm glad now that we saw it on THIS trip and not the last because it meant more. The pictures I saw of it didn't even come close to the actual beauty and neither did the ones we took. And the feeling is indescribable, the reverence. Anyway here are a few pictures, but we took a million. Also just in case you didn't know or didn't remember, I don't post pictures of my kids online. There are pictures of the whole family, but I don't want their info online at all.
