kyoto: day 3

Woke up early and went to Kiyomizu-dera.  We all considered it one of our favorite places.  It was so beautiful.

Samesies.  Not the only father/son hairdo twins I saw, too.  The only one I got a pic of, unfortunately.

Geisha spottings.

We happened to come across the oldest pagoda in Japan.

I looked hella old.

Heian Jingu shrine.

Huge torii near the shrine.  They also drive on the opposite side of the road in Japan.  No idea why.

We went to “The Philosopher’s Walk”.  It was disappointing.  (Pic from Justin)

The Silver (not really silver) Pavillion.

The Japanese gardens were amazing.  That tree didn’t even look real, as if Bob Ross painted it in.

So many people were there.

It was so amazing looking, and we couldn’t get over how much plant-life was present in Kyoto.  I had seriously forgotten what fresh air smelled like.

Raccoon dogs with big balls.

We took a train ride.  It was pretty.

Bamboo forest.

Then we hopped on a train for Osaka!
