Serpent Mound, Peebles

Serpent Mound

We ventured down to southern Ohio today with a picnic lunch, Serpent Mound our destination. I had been there probably almost 30 years ago when I think my family stopped on the way home from Washington D.C. and Williamsburg. The park seemed less grand than when I was a kid but it was still cool. At that age, I wouldn’t have been aware or probably even interested in the connections that are made between the mound and astrology and they are intriguing. As we hiked around the mound, we saw posts marking when the sunrise and sunset of, for instance, the equinox, would be visible. I felt like we were in our own American Stonehenge or something.

Our plan had been to stop at other interesting places on the way home but my niece, who wrangled her way into our adventure this morning, got carsick. So we did stop…several times…just not anywhere interesting!

Sanjusangendo, Kyoto

Sanjusan Gen Do

Photographs are not permitted inside the building where the thousands of Buddhist kannon, with their thousands of arms, stand in eerie rows. But the images I saw in there will not be something I forget. Very worth visiting.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Kyoto

Fushimi Inari

This is the best of Japan for me. A short walk from either train station, there were souvenir shops with everything from the sublimely tacky to the near-sacred lining the streets. Restaurants and booths abound as well but they can’t detract from how amazing it is to walk through those thousands of gates. We didn’t make it to the top (with a 7 and a 5 year old and all our backpacks) but everywhere we looked was something remarkable. I highly recommend visiting this fascinating place.
