An excellent Escher show…does anybody know which direction it is in?
Absolute masterpieces on hand.
Replete with not that cheesy (but still cheesy) video interpolations.
A very long tesselation, filmed live.
Who dat? We know who dat…

The tornado alone is worth a visit. Stunning views. Gorgeous conception.
And then there is the art.

There are probably 400 irises now spread all over the property. Here are a few, including some water irises.

Yellow is number 2.

Romey and I hired a boat for a canal tour. We also hired a bottle of champagne. The boat ride was excellent.
We started from the pier at the Okura just after dark.
The boat itself was built of teak and glass in 1903.
The lights are a sight to see.
