Horyuji Temple

This year's Mother's Day excursion, was to Horyuji Temple in Nara. We took the train there (actually 2 trains). A very nice, retired gentleman who works now, as a goodwill guide, gave us an excellent tour, in English. In 1993 Horyuji Temple was designated as a World Heritage Sight by UNESCO and is believed to be the world's oldest wooden buildings. There were many Japanese school kids there also. The weather was beautiful and I had a great Mother's Day!! Wonder what we'll do to celebrate next year??
