| Day Trip to Ikegami Honmonji 10/13/02 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Today we went to a Nichiren Buddhist Temple that was having a huge festival to commemorate the death of the sect's founder. Dale went while he was working at a temple in Chiba in 2000, so this year he brought me and our Aussie friends Kathleen and Andrew! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Left) The street in Ikegami was filled with vendors - mmmm cheap street food! (Right) Jenr and Dale on the steps to the temple. |

| On the left, Dale is standing in front of a pillar near the entrance to the temple. Andrew *loves* the chocolate-covered bananas like the little girl is eating - not! Above, at the top of the hill, the temple looked pretty just as the sun was setting! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The graves in the temple's cemetery were very elaborate - many had one or 2 gates leading up to the monuments. Right is the pagoda. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ZOORASIA! - 10/14/02 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We went to Zoorasia in Yokohama with our friend Carin and her daughter Jadine. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The 4 of us at the entrance to the zoo. It was warm and sunny that day - the perfect day for hanging out at the zoo! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Of all the breeds of penguins in the world, this zoo had the Humboldt penguins - just to torture Dale! (If you don't understand, e-mail him and ask about his Animal Behavior class right before graduation!) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
