Kaede room in Fudoin all ready for bed

After my fabulous dinner at Fudoin, I headed out for a night walk through Okunoin. When I returned the monks had made my bed. I sleep so much better in a futon than a western-style bed.

8-photo photomerge of Lake Tahoe‘s Sand Harbor

No life guard on duty on this day. No one was going in the water for a few reasons. One reason was that no one was there! Another was that even though this photo looks warm and sunny, it was actually below freezing with the wind chill factor. That’s snow on the mountains surrounding the lake.

I imagine Sand Harbor looks very different in August, not nearly as pretty and very crowded.
