A weekend getaway, Kyoto.



In the weekends before Anastasia went back to America, we decided to get a bit of traveling in. Our destination? Kyoto.

The trip was wonderful, and the photos were in the thousands. For that reason, I'm only going to post a handful of photos that lend themselves to storytelling. The mass of photos can be found on flickr here, along with lots of other photos I've taken.

So before I get to all the storytelling, here's a few snaps that summarize our frenzied tour of Kyoto. Enjoy!

Byodoin Temple, found on the 10 Yen coin
Gion's Shirakawa River, the most famous geisha district in all Kyoto.

The famous Kiyomizudera Temple at the evening light-up.

Kitano Tenmangu (dont worry Ive never heard of it either) famous Plum Blossom Grove

Kinkakuji (The Golden Pavillion)

Some of these photos and destinations may wind up in posts with a bit of elaboration, some may not. Depends on the novelty of the experience. So, without further ado, Kyoto!
