Kyoto

I took a short trip to Kyoto starting on Monday and returning home late last night.  It was a lot of fun and very nostalgic as the places we went to I had had been to years before.  On Monday we went to Amanohashidate which is a land bridge that when seen upside down, looks like a bridge to heaven.  It is a really beautiful sight and thanks to recent snow was given a nice snowy effect.  Actually right now it is snowing in Tokyo as I type.

On Tuesday we spent the day in Kyoto seeing the many temples around town.  Kyoto is very cool in my opinion because Japanese culture is very prevalent there.  Many people still wear kimonos and there is much of an old-style feel to most of the city.  Plus there are an absurd amount of temples and shrines, to the point that it would be impossible to see it all in a day let alone a week.  It was very fun and serene walking through the beautiful gardens and seeing the sights.

It is nice to be back home now, I'm going to spend this next week resting up as I have been kept very busy these last couple weeks.
