Sagano Bamboo Forest, Japan
This stunning bamboo forest is located in the Arashiyama district on the west outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It is one of the most amazing natural sites in the country. An interesting fact about Sagano Bamboo Forest is the sound that the wind makes while it blows through the bamboo. Amazingly enough, this sound has been voted on as one of the “one hundred must-be-preserved sounds of Japan” by the Japanese government. Another interesting fact – the railing on the sides of the road is composed out of old, dry and fallen parts of bamboo.

Avocado Lime Tequila Paletas
Depending on the size of your molds, this will make about 10 popsicles
Ingredients:
1 cup water
½ cup sugar
zest of 4 limes – about 2 Tablespoons
5 ripe soft avocados
1/3 cup lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
2 ½ Tablespoons tequila
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and boil until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the lime zest and let cool to room temperature. Strain into a bowl (to remove the zest) and for best results, chill for several hours.
Cut the avocados in half and remove the flesh. Add to a blender with the lime juice, tequila and salt and process until smooth. If you need a little more liquid to get things moving, add some of the lime simple syrup.
Add the avocado mixture to the simple syrup and stir until well blended.
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours. To remove from the molds, run warm water along the outside and carefully ease out of the cavities.
For longer storage, remove from the molds, wrap individually in plastic wrap, place in a large Ziploc bag and store in the freezer.
