今晩は、
　　今日は雨が降りました。写真じゃありません、でもとてもきれいな神社を見つけました。またあの神社に写真を撮りに行きます。またと日本語を勉強して、画を書いて、賀茂川の側に尺八を練習しました。

Good evening,
Today it rained. No pictures, but I found a very beautiful shrine. I will go to that shrine again and take pictures. Besides that I studied Japanese, drew a picture, and practiced shakuhachi near the Kamogawa.
Later,
Chris

That was a good walk today. I went past the nice park I found to see if I could climb that mountain thing. I got real close but was blocked off where I was at. I'll try a different approach next time. The shrine I found is fantastic. All the way at the edge of the city I had it to myself. With the wet of the rain and the atmosphere it was quite a wonderful experience. I did start a drawing, not quite done with it, will put it up tomorrow or the next day. Jya

A quick note, I had the idea to take photos of little known shrines (to foriegners at least) and make a series of painting when back in the states. Going up little dirt roads, to the edges of town and so forth, all on foot of course. Taking transportation takes the fun out of finding them, probably wouldn't find them that way. I would have not known about any of the little ones without all my wandering. As Tolkien said,"Not all who wander are lost." or something to that effect anyway.
