We arrived safely to Kyoto, Japan. The trip wasnt too bad. It is beautiful here. The people are so nice and wanting to do everything to make us comfortable. I know about four words in japanese and it is not enough but we are managing. It was raining yesterday and hopefully today it is clearing up. The Ryokan where we are staying it wonderful. We spent yesterday exploring the west side of the river and today are going to see the Imperial Palace. These temples are getting old pretty fast. They are all starting to look the same. I would write more but the computer keyboard is driving me crazy! I will try to post photos later too.
