Hi Sam!
This is an exciting place but its very wet! Yesterday
we went along the walkway to see the Devils Throat.
It was like walking in the middle of a cloud! I wore a
raincoat, but my shoes were full of water. Everybody
has to shout, of course, because the falls are very
noisy. But they are beautiful, too. Its good to stand
and watch the waterfalls we were there for hours.
Today we went for a walk in one of the parks. There
were lots of different kinds of birds there, but I didnt
see any jaguars. Perhaps well see one tonight.
Love, Emily
Hello Tom
Were enjoying our visit to Kyoto. Its true, spring
really is a good time to come. We went to Kiyomizudera and looked out from the temple. In front of us
there was a sea of pink and white flowers on top of the
cherry trees. It was beautiful. And we visited a very
famous garden at the temple of Ryoan-ji. It was a very
unusual garden for us, because it had no flowers or
trees only stones! They say that you can see all fifteen
big stones at the same time. We looked and looked,
but we could only see fourteen. We asked the gardener
about it but he just smiled!
Bye! Jess and Hattie.
