Final Update - Kyoto and Beyond

Well this will be my final batch of pictures, seeing as I am already back home in the States. I figured it was my duty to finish off this blog, so here goes.

Most of the pictures in this post relate to our two day trip to Kyoto. The first picture is from inside the Shinkansen, Japan's fastest type of train. I'm taking a nap, as you can see. Then we have Nijo Castle, all of us after an hour of Zen meditation (and the monk who taught us), a Shinto shrine with literally a thousand red gates (I forget what it's called), and the theater where we saw Kabuki back in Tokyo.
