Home!

Nothing of much of merit today--mostly shopping.
We visited the replica of the Golden Pavilion--the original burned down in '50 because a monk actually fell in love with it and thought that it was sinful or some such. I thought the whole affair was a rather tacky bit of architecture, but what do I know?
Then we walked to the Rock Garden, which is about a ten-by-fifteen rectangle of gravel and fifteen large stones. Supposedly, you can only see fourteen stones from any given angle, though Joel claimed to have seen all fifteen at one point *cough liar cough* . And Muhammad managed to drop a soda bottle in the garden and I moved away and heard people say 'gaijin' a lot. Can't say I blame them.
Going home tomorrow-
