Previously I had always thought of Osaka city as being very crowded, noisy and full of tall buildings - and whilst this is mostly true - this is a whole side of it that I have seen before!
We even saw some turtles!
I have always had a strange fascination with turtles (and dogs, cats, and dragons!) since I was a child, and since living in Japan this has been strengthened even further. In Okinawa I managed to see a beautiful sea turtle swimming right up close to me, as graceful and peaceful as is possible.
But even in Tennoji there was a river full of turtles!
I could sit and watch these guys for hours.
Fortunately one of my favourite spots in Nara is full of turtles and koi fish. The best thing is that it is totally peaceful and there are rarely any tourists there. Meaning I can spend my free time (very little these days!) playing my ukulele and serenading the wildlife! Haha.
We had lunch together (a delicious 'acai bowl' and a kale smoothie. The perfect healthy food for a hot day in June!) and finally ended up at a temple.
Another great day in the wonderful Kansai.
I love Kansai and I love Japan.
Every once in a while it is important to take a deep breath, smile and say out loud -
"Life is good"
It sure is! :-)
