Monday morning I met up with Kacie at the
station. I hadn’t seen her in over a year so it was nice to be able to spend
some time with her. I had told her that I was willing to see whatever she
wanted to show me. She set me up with a bicycle and then took me on a tour of
the city. She was great in pointing out all the little places in the city. It
was a great way to see all of the city, without taking time out to explore the
sites and making mental notes to return the next day to visit them.
We biked from the station, along this canal
that runs past the samurai district and into the main heart of the city. We
made a stop at the Senigawa river and took a nice little stroll along the
waterway. After that she took me to the D.T. Suzuki museum, it was closed but
we did walk past the garden area. From there it was biking past the 21st
Century Art Museum where we took a few
photos in the outdoor art installation. From there it was biking along the
castle grounds. It was a great loop of the city and I was excited for my next
two days of exploring.

Before heading back to the station to meet
up with another Peppy teacher we made a stop into Omi-Cho, the fish market. We
had a delicious lunch of sushi and a dessert of black sesame ice cream.
After our late lunch we met up at the
station with the other teacher and made plans for dinner. With that all settled
the three of us were on our bikes up to a main shopping area to meet up with a
few other people to enjoy dinner. When dinner was finished we called it a night
and it was back to the hotel to rest up for the next day’s adventure.
