Good morning,
Today I want to go to the Silver pavilion. These is a trail behind the silver pavilion. Besides that I will rest today.
Later,
Chris

Hopefully everyone notices that the first part is the Japanese, the second the translation and then this part where I talk about whatever else I did. Just thought I'd let you know since some computers can't see the Japanese script. I'll probably put up some pics on flickr later and one on here.
Update for today:I went to Ginkakuji, it was busy but not as much. On the way I found another shrine I will visit later and one I did visit right next to Ginkakuji which was a nice little shrine. After that I asked directions to the trail leading to the top of Daimonji the mountain with the big 大 on it. I talked to a nice fellow but could only make out 1/3 of what he was saying in Japanese. We waited for his friend who could speak English and she told me what I had already deducted from my converstation with the fellow. Anyway I made it to the trail head and hiked all the way to the top. Not very far really, about 40min to the big 大, and another 20 to the very top. A nice hike but also relatively busy, oh well. I got to practice my konnichiwa's about a hundred times with people going by. I could see the whole city from the top, nice view. Later, after I made it back here, I went out again to practice my shakuhachi on my practice spot, that I have adopted along the river. I dont much like to play in front of people, but not much else I can do. I guess I will get used to it. Well enough of me going on, I'm just enjoying myself here.
