Scrapbooking Koyasan Trip

Remember when you had to send your film (remember film?) away to be processed? A week later you received your photographs in an envelope. If you were an organized person, you marked the back of the photo with the date. If you were really organized you put them in a photo album.

Sometimes I think it was easier in the "old days"! Today we have to download our own photos, edit them, file them, print them, and then what the heck do we do with them?

Well I've decided to combine a few select photos with miscellaneous memorabilia to celebrate selected special memories. Today I started with a trip to Koyasan - Mt. Koya - in Fall 2007. Here are a few samples. This is also an exercise in learning to post & move photos in a blog post...

Despite the fact that it was a rainy couple of days when we visited Koyasan, we were charmed by its beauty and history.

We were able to spend the night in a Buddhist monastery. The monks served us an incredible vegetarian meal...the 3 trays of food in upper left corner were for just one person! In the morning we were able to join them for prayers/chanting. It was a wonderful experience.

I think I will post the other pictures in a new post...and try a few new methods in doing so!
