Back From Japan

Hi Friends!  I made it back around midnight local time last night. I had a wonderful and meaningful time.

Our schedule, which was not as bad as it could have been, was as follows:

0400  Wake Up
0500-0700  Train
0700 Breakfast
0900-1200 Train
1400-1630/1700  Train
1630/1700  Shower/ Hot Bath (Ofuro)
1800 Dinner
2000  Bed (Typically)

I fear I am still a bit strung out by lack of sleep, but here at least are some pictures of the facility we were in:


The Outside:


Places to remove your shoes:


Our room.  Four to a room (could fit eight on the floor). The bunk was a tatami mat:






The showers, including the Ofuro:





Two of the dojos we trained in:



Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful:






And the general daytime views were nice too:

    Thank you Rain! I am still trying to sort through the experience to understand what I can pull out to bring into my daily living.
