Kamakura photo journey part 2 (*^-^*)

I believe that I left off yesterday right at Tamara and my arrival at the giant buddha of Kamakura. And by ‘giant,’ I do mean GIANT!

I’ve been there once before, like I said yesterday, but I had totally forgotten one cool thing– that you can also go inside! Who knew?

There were also other interesting things on the grounds….

 

Want to see more? Tune in for the continuation soon!! :DDD

And leave me lots of comments! <3
