We got up in the morning and packed up. Then we went downstairs for breakfast in the ryokan.
A picture of a decoration in the hallway.
The girls took a picture in their robes out on their patio
I had the Japanese style breakfast which was eggs, steamed salmon, some type of vegetable, white rice, broth soup, tea, and wasabi seaweed crackers. We asked for orange juice too.
Then we took the bus to the Imperial Palace, which is where the Emperor lived when Kyoto was the capital of Japan.
We took a tour and again, I needed something more stimulating. I would have rather taken pictures and read signs on my own and be done in 30 minutes than go on a 1 hour tour. But I'm always like this on travel. By the end, I think Rebecca and Vuong were bored too.
Then we took the bus to the Rokuonji Temple, better known as the Golden Temple. This was soo pretty.
It was raining the whole time..good thing we had umbrellas.
There was this place where you could try to throw coins into this hole or bowl to make a wish, and after a couple of tries, I was the only one in our group to make it in a hole.
There was also a place to buy a fortune on a piece of paper. The directions said you could only keep certain ones. Mine was only "Quite Good" so I had to throw it away. It was fun! (I thought the a couple pieces of advice were funny like the travel one (Take it easy--yeah right since we were on the go for the whole trip!)...And the the marriage one...It was good advice...if I got proposed to again, I had better keep it a secret since I'm already married!)
Travel Club!
We ate lunch at Kinugasa Zen. I had "Tendon" which was rice with tempura shrimp, green bean, mushrooms, carrots, and eggplant. It was really good!
Up next, the food market
