Walking up from the parking area toward the temples, the path is lined with tasteful shops. Here's a little<\/span> kiosk selling\nonly autumn-color handkerchiefs:<\/p>\n\n

We took the long way home to drive through some of the deep mountain roads that I cycle<\/span> on.\nWhen in the forest it was quite dark.
