Day 9: Kanazawa - Higashi Chaya and Kenrokuen
... hallway. Once again, I made another strong case for why i should win the award for being the best husband. I went over to Bon, who was sound asleep and gave her a nice shake until she woke so I could share my paranormal encounter with her. Big mistake, I forgot how much Bon loved her sleep. She gave me the I want to strangle you look and marched to the door and slid it open with much more force than required and peered out searching for the soon to be victim that will feel ...
Day 8: Shirakawa-go - Koemon Farmhouse

The visit here is the most I have ever spent! I had a massive spend out but I am happy with what I got. Before we went shopping we took a trip to the Kanazawa gardens which were absolutely beautiful! They were so green it was amazing! It was so peaceful and serene. ...
