A trip to Falling Water has been on my wish list for years. Though I knew a fair amount about Frank Lloyd Wright and the house itself from studying architecture, I was not prepared for the power of the building itself. Just incredible. The way nature integrates with the structure filling all of your senses is stunning.
This visit was life affirming in all the ways. Part of a perfect day.

Four years is the blink of an eye for this Shinto Shrine in Kyoto since it has been here for over 1300 years. A previous visit was pre-Fall in 2015. This visit happened at the height of Fall in Japan.

This Shinto Shrine in Tokyo is an oasis of peace in the bustling, teeming city.
Ginkos in full turn.

Day one involved cross country skiing. This is not a thing we do well. We got better.
At least there were waffles and beer! Though I think that home brew knocked my internals out of whack.
Our skiing all happened somewhere around here
Day two was also cross country.
On the third day, we arose from the dead and did some downhill.
Then it was back on the grindstone for more cross country.
This guy had better skis than we did
Fin
Cheers!
After skiing, there is always bubbly!

Whatever you do, make sure you visit the amphitheater (though this time of year it might have better been called the “amphibian-theater”). Also visit a winery and catch a buzz before you park the car.
