Kyoto was so blissful. A very beautiful lively city with no sky scrapers (much like DC) . There are so many temples in Kyoto but we only had time to visit two. We saw the Rokuno-Ji Golden Temple (Yes it is lined with pure gold leaf) and the Eikando Zenrin-Ji Temple. Both temples had beautiful zen gardens, priceless works of art, ancient documents, and plenty of Buddhas.
Venturing into the city we were lucky to be 30 minutes ahead of a Women's Relay Marathon. We stopped for lunch at a noodle place just in time to catch the first place team crossing the finish line on the local TV station. The exciting race was a nice contrast to the calm reflective mood at the temples. Stay tuned... tomorrow I will be going to Kobe and then on to Hiroshima!
