today's Kyoto visit

[jay]

Walking along the shaded, canalside "Path of Philosophy" (which connects several temples), a delivery truck zipped past me:



Here are Gingakuji (first) and Kinkakuji temples, in order:





This one's especially for geekchick; on the way to the latter temple, I was amused to see one of many little neighborhood shrines. In this one, if you look carefully, the cups in the front are from a "Hello Kitty" design :-)



And that leaves out the moment when Pat called my cellphone, when I was crammed too tightly to move in a Kyoto city bus full of bouncing 6-year-olds...

Off to bed now, tomorrow I'll see Yuki for a couple of hours, then to the airport. Any last-minute requests for food, etc?

(grin) the philosophy of pizza? I wasn't sure whether I was more amused or cynical, given the location... I suppose it's no tackier than the occasional vending machine (they're *everywhere*, even at temples (but not inside the temples)).
