Kitakamakura

We took a car to the Navy base and then walked to the train. We got off at the Kitakamakura Station.We ate at a Buddhist restaurant. We removed our shoes and sat at short chairs. We were served vegan food in the Buddhist style which means all five colors of food and all five tastes of food. I wasn't sure of everything that was served but we sure used a lot of cups and bowls and plates as items were brought and taken away. We had some sliced vegetables, miso soup, tofu, fried soy milk, green tea, barley tea, pickled ginger and pickled some okra, rice with walnut topping, other identifiable things and ended up with sliced pears. We were full. After that we walked to the Jochi-ji Zen Temple. We walked up the many stairs. We walked around the gardens and the grave yards and into some caves. Once finished there we walked to some temples closer to the train station. At these temples there were meditation classes going on. People came here to worship.  We strolled around for a couple of hours. We walked through the shopping district. I had a sesame ice cream cone that was delicious. Sea eagles flew over head crying loudly. The high humidity made us feel logy. As it was getting dark we boarded the train for home. Once the sun went down the temperature was more bearable. We walked by the Naval base as the sun was setting. We hear a typhoon is coming soon so we stocked up on supplies and headed home.
