And now for the news in brief.

Between working a job and a half and trying to study for that stupid test, my hedonistic lifestyle has recently been seriously impeded. Very little time on the bike (compared with before) and generally not much to talk about except for a quick dash down to Kyoto the weekend before last.

Saw a few temples that were on my list. Had Starbucks. Seafood dinner with a complimentary squirt of salt water in the eye.

Time is short, and pictures tell a thousand words, so without further ado...

I know which of the above pictures I like better...


Shame we were too late for here Dad - temple in Ohara, north of Kyoto that we tried to go to.
