Kyoto ii


Impossibly thick macha tea with sweets at little yummy shops everywhere - especially liked the rice balls with gooey-ies and powder-ies, cinnamon-ie and nutty...

Gion District rickshaw guys and Maiko/Geiko/Geisha at the temples, in the streets, and with photographers…

Bought some beautiful, old water color repros and one crow block print...

Stumbled upon an AMAZING Shinto wedding in progress at Kodai-ji Temple...

Beautiful, very foreign tasting (!) trad Kyoto lunch box...

Homemade tofu (yuba) everything…

Walk, walk, walk... Feet hurt, back hurts...

Why, yes, yes, you do eat the heads of the shrimp tempura...

Giant Buddha at the tomb of the unknown soldier...

Temples, temples, everywhere…

Bamboo...

Evening...Teppanyaki …. mmmmm …. Kobe beef…..

Walk through the giltzy lights and gazillon clubs and restaurants of modern Gion…

Cold!
