| I love the sakura (cherry blossom) trees everywhere.
They represent the samurai spirit in the culture. It happens to be the
symbol of my Judo dojo. |
From what I recall about Buddhist cultures,
the different floors or levels of the tower represent different planes
of existence with Nirvana at the top. |

| Have you met my friend, Totoro? You should! |
A fabulous (yes, i have to use that word because
it is San Fran) flower garden named after a Hawaiian Queen. |

| An old-skool windmill. These were used in ancient times
to mill and crush grains gathered in the fields. |
I'm not exactly sure why this platform is located where
it is. If you want a good view, you'd think they'd put it at the top of
the tower. |

| Adam and Auntie Lucia smile for the camera. |
Similar to Seattle, there is almost always a perpetual
mist over the sky. |

| Anyone want tulips? |
I love all the different types of color in this shot. |
