• JAPAN TRIP...so far (minus 2 days which i'll post next)

  • TOKYO consisted of a lot of business and shopping
  • quick day in KAMAKURA (chappy's home) and met new people and tried okinawan food (someone from okinawa was visiting)

  
  okinawan noodles...mmmm..okinawan pineapple...mmm

  • shinkansen (nozomi..the superexpress) to KYOTO

  
  nozomi pulling in...view from the shinkansen...another shinkansen passing by

  • FUSHIMI INARI... mosquitos!  ahhhhhh!

  
  tori gates...kitsune (fox)...more gates...

  
  view of kyoto...where i decided to stop... too hot and getting dark...

  fushimi inari is pretty awesome... you
  could probably spend a whole day there... but we got there later in the
  day so didn't spend much time... got to one place and pretty much got
  eaten alive and from then on sped up and kept on moving... it's pretty
  amazing... many business people come here during the new year to pray
  for their businesses...next time... i want to do the whole trail...oh
  yeah.. and kitsune are the guardians of fushimi inari... so they had
  lots of foxes all over.

  
  and dessert...i forgot what it was called but it consisted of green tea
  ice cream, green tea kori, azuki bean, and mochi....mmmmm it was
  sooooooooo yummy!  rest of kyoto trip to be continued... must go
  to sleep now!
