Tofu in Kyoto

Earlier today my Sister snapped that she was going to eat at a sushi restaurant. However, after a few snaps back and forth, I found out she was having tofu. This brought up some good memories. Especially of eating at a tofu restaurant in Kyoto, Japan ten years ago.

Don’t say you don’t like tofu unless you have had a meal like this, it was delicious.

Wednesday Image Search – Hea

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

After searching for ‘mea’ last week I will search for ‘hea’ this week.

What images will I find?
