         Already the penultimate day … What time pass quickly ! Today, with a mixed but mild weather, it is a bucolic day. Kyoto is a city full of charm, but here I am a little overdose with crowds, cars and various sounds. So towards the mountains to the north-east early and the village of Ohara. What calm, what silence, what tranquility … All the participants are in heaven !
