well we made it! Finally....We've been travelling for 27.5 hours now, but are firmly installed at Kosho's house, Otagi Temple in Kyoto. We spent 8 hours in Amsterdam airport, but it was good, as we caught a bit of sleep and slowed down a bit! the flight to Osaka was as good as it could be I guess - klm food is pretty nice, but I didn't get much sleep, so am pretty tired...
we just had a lovely meal with the family, and I ate cheicken for the first time in about 7 years!it was a bit weird, but good, and I'm glad I did, as one of the other dishes had eggs in it, so I couldn't eat it. We also had garlic with miso and bonito and some super strong chillis!
We also had a look around the temple with kosho as it is literally in their back garden, and it was really peaceful and quite affecting - it gets dark early here at this time of year, and with light rain falling through the trees, the shrines and two halls (which were built in th 12th century) easily silenced us until we started hammering kosho with questions about the various deities and sculptures...
anyway, i'm really tired - we've been up for about 32 hours now, so I'm off to bed, thinking of everyone at home, who are probably at work right now!
love
