The Entry I Wrote in Kyoto and Published in Tokyo!

While we were in our hotel in Kyoto, I wrote this post, and I meant to edit and publish it, but I got too tired, so I gave up. Now that we are back in Tokyo, I will post it. Here is what I wrote on 10/9/06, at around 11pm:

(Post title: “On the Road…(Reporting Live from Kyoto)”

Well, we aren’t really “On the Road,” we have been traveling by Bullet Train, but “On the Rail,” just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Anyway, we have been having an interesting trip.

First, we went to Hiroshima. Our first impressions on Friday night were rather lukewarm, but that was colored by the fact that we were tired and we had some trouble finding a place to stay. (More on that later).

The next day, we went to Miyajima and the A-Bomb Dome/Museum. That’s two World Heritage Sites in one day! Then we got up this morning (Monday, 10 /9) and went back to take a few daylight pictures of the Dome. Then we headed for Himeji Castle, another World Heritage Site, and arguably the best Feudal Castle in Japan. I had been there a year and a half ago, but last time I didn’t have a good camera. Now, we are in Kyoto.

It is a bit late, and I am completely exhausted. I will write more and post some pictures later. Angela has also taken some great pictures. It wasn’t hard to take good pictures, because the places we have visited are incredible.

That’s all for now.
