Irises lined the valley floor, fed by an artesian well
Lilacs and Iris are Grandma Joberg's favorites so this entry is for her! Sorry, no lilacs, but we did go to the Gardens at the Meiji Shrine and see the lovely irises.
Also stopped in at the Asakusa area temple as it is a lovely landmark. The over sized lanterns at the gate are quite impressive as is the very stately pagoda. While we were there a young woman approached and asked us about our mission. (Pays to wear the name badge everywhere we go!) Turns out she was on a trip with some friends from Boise State and had been raised in Moses Lake, Washington! Her name is Heather Larson and her dad is Don Larson, so the name might ring a bell with our friends from the great Northwest!
Towering Pagoda
Gates and very large lanterns

Ah, the Moses Lake connection can occur anywhere around the world! And I'm curious, in those temples are the sticking out squares strictly adorning or are they constructed for use as well?
YEP KNOW HER
I went to school with what I'm presuming is her older sister. How small the world seems sometimes...
