Where Globe-Trotting meets Beach-Combing

April 3, 2009 Cherry Blossoms

Kamakura Wedding Procession

I heard a weird reedy instrument today while walking through Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Temple in Kamakura. Oh, it’s a wedding procession. Well who wouldn’t want that noise at their wedding? It was a beautiful day for it, though—sunny, a half-mile of cherry blossoms leading to the temple, and temperatures rose to the upper 50s! Aaahhh, I wasn’t cold all day. A nice change.

Tomorrow: more on Kamakura and that half-mile of cherry blossoms!

    That music reminds me of some early music samples I had to listen to in a Music Appreciation class. I’m glad it has advanced from that! 😉
