A GREAT group photo from The Golden Temple
Today we were able to sleep in a bit before we headed out to tour around Kyoto... Our first stop was to the Nijo (Shogun) Castle and our next stop was at the famous Golden Temple. We stopped for an outstanding lunch complete with Ramen and then headed out for some shopping in Kyoto. After some shopping we filled our stomachs to capacity by eating at the conveyor sushi restaurant. After a dinner we headed out Geisha "hunting"...while we did see some Geisha having private dinners up on the patio by the river our Geisha "hunt" wasn't successful tonight (but no fear we will go back in search of the mysterious Geisha again. Tomorrow we will be headed to Hiroshima for the more "serious" tour of our trip. In Hiroshima (weather permitting) we will also be going to see a baseball game...the Hiroshima Carp vs Sapporo Nippon Fighters...stay tuned for for some more pictures from this once in a lifetime opportunity.
