Kyoto is the 2nd biggest city in Japan and it used to be a capital.
The first night there was pretty elaborate. The group walked around the city, ate dinner and then by 4am there were 4 of us still standing and we decided to call it a night.
Here is the beginning.. see a 7/11 car that was interesting.
Middle of the evening novelty: beer dispensing vending machine.
This is at the end of the night... cucumber wrapped in salmon and quasi-absenth.
The next day started a little late, but nonetheless fun. JD and I set out to view the land of Kyoto.Here we see an outdoor but covered market. Lots of food and things I could have but did not buy.
Then we set off for a castle. The castle was minimally impressive, but the landscape was breath taking.
After walking in 100 f degree weather, JD and I took a little time to rest. This gave me a chance to catch him in the "Thinking Man" pose (more like tired, angry at god for the humidity and sun, and wishing he were in an air conditioned bed - I think Bill Gates has one of those).
After the excursion a nap was in order to rejuvenate. Then off to old Kyoto to search for Gaishas. I didn't see any, but this part of town looked nice.
The next day, JD and I packed up for an excursion around Tokyo... (next post in 2 hours)See more pics here.
