Being we wanted to get out and do some more exploring in Japan we decided one weekend to go up and see the Miyajima Shrine that we had heard about with the floating Tori. We took Davey with us this time. There was a story that was told to us about a Japanese girl killing herself because her lover had died, and they built the Tori for her. When the water was at high tide it was her crying for him, and her tear were filling up the sea. I can't find anything about it now, and so tend to think it is a old wives tale someone started. When the tide is out it is a mud flat.It is a beautiful place and we enjoyed it very much. The Shrine is quite large and we were able to walked all through it.
The two with us were our neighbor and good friends, and we saw them once when we got back to the states.

I wish the pictures had been in color, as it was a very colorful place, but we didn't have the film then for that.
