Holidaying and the art of zen


Last time we were in Portland, we sadly missed going to the Japanese Gardens as they were closed on the day we went there. This time we weren't going to miss them! The sun was shining and the gardens, which are supposed to be the best gardens outside of Japan, were at their best. Waterfalls, lanterns, tea rooms (where sadly you couldn't drink tea), raked pebbles, pagodas, fish ponds...it all looked pretty close to me! All that was missing was the big sake barrels! Mmmm sake.
