We spent the day being models with some friends at an abandoned hotel site. The building looks like it was very close to being finished (with carpet, toilets, a furnished kitchen), but the Japanese are very superstitious (I heard they were warned not to build on what was considered "sacred ground" and didn't listen, but then the workers were getting ill and dying - I also heard a bee hive moved in to the entrance and apparently that was a warning from the gods not to build there), so they abandoned it and it's so amazing and sad to see this huge building with a beautiful view, wasting away.
The abandoned hotel is right next door to some castle remains.
Lydia found some wild flowers growing on the grounds.
She ended up pulling the whole plant up when she tried to pick a flower.
Such a pretty girl! Your pictures are beautiful, Liz! I love Lydia's facial expression in the first one. So cute. :)
