Lets see… from the last time I updated we went to Todai-ji and Horu-ji, probably the two most well known temples in Asia. Todai-ji is the largest wooden structure in the world and Horu-ji is the oldest wooden structure in the world… pretty important stuff. We traveled to Nara to see both. At Todai-ji you are greeted by deer so we played with them before entering the temple.
Yesterday was Ando day… that was fun too.
We found Rokko housing and went all over trying to find the entrance, eventually we found it and took a few pics before we left for lunch.
Lunch was Kobe beef in Kobe… that was amazing.
Then we went to more Ando buildings... pictures to follow.
We went to dinner at a rotating sushi bar and then to Gayagaya… our favorite bar in Kyoto. The bartenders are amazing and we kept buying them drinks. We also met two guys from England and that was a nice because we spoke the same language and could actually hold a conversation… something quite rare here. Then today we happened to see them again at the train station… too funny.
Today we went to Ise shrine… another well known shrine that is rebuilt every 20 years. We weren’t able to see much because we aren’t special enough… nobody really is unless you are a monk… but the scenery was nice.
We also went to Tsumago which is an old street where they have kept the original buildings since the 1600s so that was fun.
Dinner was at a Chinese restaurant… funny but it was good. And then back to our home to rest and relax… tomorrow is another early morning and I am looking forward to when we have the weekends off.

They seem to like chain link fencing. The pictures are beautiful. What an opportunity to see so many wonderful sites. Thanks for jumping in some of the pictures because I like to see you too.
Kobe beef is off the chart good. I know a place here that make mini Kobe beef bugers. We'll all go when you get back.
Too fun.
