Class. I had E40 bright and early at 9:00. Signaling. Fun. Fun. Fun. Then what did we do. Oh yeah, no class for Japanese! Instead we went to the monthly flea market at Kitano Tenmangu. The same flea market that Prae and I visited last month. It was still pretty fun walking around and looking at the booths. I even wandered around the back area that I hadn't seen previously. I just looked, though. Nothing quite tickled my fancy. Although a lot of other people walked away with yukata.
The City and Sounds class, that I am not taking went on a field trip, and because I finished my homework and had caught up with my shows, I was looking for something to occupy my time. We went to Arashiyama, again another place that I visited and again, I went to a new place and a few places that I had been before.
On the way to the bamboo forest, our group passed the very same ice cream shop that I purchased my four tiered ice cream from the last time I visited. My newfound ice cream buddy, Abe and I of course had to purchase this mound of deliciousness packaged in waffle cone. So very good good. We walked through the forest to get to a temple (the name of which completely escapes me). It was very gorgeous there. I wandered around the path and passed waterfalls as people in the class recorded the sounds. Then Abe and I found a path up the mountain a bit and were treated to an awesome view of the city.
The temple closed not to long after we entered and so we walked back to the bus station through the bamboo forest. That ice cream shop is strategically placed at the entrance/exit of the forest. And this time everyone got ice cream. I tried to stay strong. I tried to say no to four flavors of awesome. But my ice cream buddy Abe caved in and I'm only human. I went in for another cone.
It's an addiction.
