- Elizabeth: She has loved listeners’ suggestions about what to read and watch as preparation for our upcoming hiking trip in England, in partnership with Wilderness England.
- Gretchen: I loved my trip to Japan, and I love being back home.
I’ve Been Meaning to Ask You
Elizabeth asks me what my favorite place to visit was on my recent trip to Japan. I loved so many places, but perhaps my very favorite was Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Shrine.
This beautiful site reminded me of The Gates, an extraordinary art installation by Christo in New York City’s Central Park, who also did Wrapped Walk Ways in Kansas City.
