      God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

        @Mister_Brue thank you so much the architecture and tranquility of the temples and the beauty of the japanese gardens was amazing, just sitting there can really help to clear one's mind.

                      Yes indeed thank you so much @Chap . Gorgeous photos of the trip of a lifetime.

                      You guys did the kind of trip I’d want to do, balancing towards serenity.

                      My wife brought up going to Japan, somewhat to my surprise since she loves beaches and tropical climes. I hope we can build some serenity into our adventure alongside some urban exploration. I’ll be coming back here for inspiration. Thanks again.

                      Think it, be it.
