tea ceremony in Kinmouin-temple

Today is the 2nd Sunday so I went to Kinmouin-temple金毛院 for tsukigama月釜.
Last time I've been there, I did't move! because of marathon relay race.
From that, I thouht when I go to Kinmouin-temple, I have to be careful/check before I go there... But this time, I forgot about it, so I took same mistake! This time, it was marathon :-/ I couln't cross the road more than 20mintes (not only marathon I was waiting my friend who used buss, she also difficult to move). This winter, it is said warm winter, but today was soooo cold day, it snowed! I couldn't move, felt cold and getting hungry.... so miserable. But after that, when I arrived Kinmouin-temple, it was so great. I got warm welcome, beautiful view, and enjoy wanderful tea ceremony with other guests.

Yeah it all depends on the way you look at things. Thanks to miserable experience, after that I enjoyed tea ceremony more and more!

I hope you'll feel this moment with me.
