| The quite lovely Gold Shrine. | Another view of said Shrine. | The famous Zen rock garden. There are 15
stones, but only the enlightened one can see more than 14 at a time. I
could see 15 from one angle, but I didn't take a photo from that spot to
prove it. But here are all 15. |
The wall and moat of Nijo Castle in Kyoto. I am really impressed with walls and moats built hundreds of years ago. Seriously. |

| Anyone want to watch me pee? | A nice Japan-ish corner thing. | Now that's an entrance to a shrine. | The entrance led up to Heian shrine. It was
ok. |

| Another view of Heian Shrine. | These are actual "shoes" geishas wore hundreds of years ago. They are called Getas. I can't imagine. | The famous Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto. Built on a cliff. It was impressive. | Here's the entrance to Kiyomizu temple. |

| A night view of Fushimi near Kyoto. These Tori gates went on for miles. | Just a bit too dark. | I love being Tall in Japan. I was standing upright in the shower. | GIMME SOME DAMN FOOD OR I WILL BITE YOUR BUTT. |

| You act all cute and I will sneak around and bite his butt. | These cute girls took English at a local school. The teacher had the smart idea of bringing them here to speak to native English speakers. They spoke better than my academic high school students. | Toudaiji temple. The largest wooden structure in the world. The original temple was "considerably larger" than this one. Wow. | Apparently this is where they study urine at
this temple. "we don't need a native speaker to chek English, we can spoke just fine". |
