Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park

 This will be the last San Diego post from our recent trip. One of the most beautiful parts of Balboa Park for me was the Japanese / Friendship Garden.

It is very large and uses the Japanese concept of the natural state of the geography, coupled with transformed landscapes, to provide a calming haven. This garden ratchets that idea up.



This is a 280-year-old statue. Interestingly, it was in a private garden in Missouri until it was toppled by Hurricane Katrina. Then it was donated.

Capybara Cafe

 In Tokyo there are very few pets.  Landlords don’t like them. But people miss the petting.  So they have cafes where you can spend sometime...
