Well, from the last city we moved on to Nikko a UNESCO world famous heritage site. We enjoyed a welcome party at the Kanaya Hotel. It is here that the Emporer enjoys dining and visiting as well as other famous people such as Einsten and General McArthur. Form here we went to view the archery demonstration on horseback. Wow!!! What a sight! Following this we toured some of the most famous shrines and temples in the Nikko area. The following day was exciting with the processional of Samauris...and we had 2nd row seating for the processional!!! We continue to be treated like Royalty and thank the Japanese Rotarians and their country for their generosity. During these past 2 days we have been treated to a stay at a very famous onsen near Nikko and to our surprise we woke up to a grand view from our windows of a lovely ravine and river. WOW! Again! We have also...are you ready...traveled to Lake Chuenzii, Kegon Falls, Edo Village, Autumn Festival, stood on top of 100 year old floats, traveled downstream in a boat, walked down part of the road of 300 year old Pine Trees and had some of the most beautiful and interesting meals....So as you can see it has been a jam packed couple of days...Back to work tomorrow as we travel to Kanuma and then onto district conference!!! Lori and I are heading to check out the other bath before bed....oyasumi naisi!
Looks like you're having a fantastic time! Relish every moment - it goes by quickly.
