Ron and Alexandra Seigel - I have been to Kyoto Gardens. It's worth the trip to experience it in person. You'll love it! As a special treat, she booked a hotel for the night and we both wore our own Kimono from the hotel and had dinner with her friends. Putting it on correctly required a lot of patience and I needed help. I'll never forget it! I hope we can all get to travel again very soon!
It would be interesting to study "with the Bonsai master." It's an art and requires a lot of patience. I'm sure Ron would master the techniques faster than I could!
