Kyoto Thanksgiving: Day 2
Day 2 was not as eventful. For lunch, we all went to eat kaiten zushi (rotating sushi). I loved how when you order something off the menu it would come to you on a little shinkansen train though. Reed came by later with Lisa Gano (he had met up with her earlier) and even though he had already eaten a bowl of ramen beforehand, he still ate quick a bit of sushi. Impressive, but expected.
Spent a large portion of the day walking and talking. At night, we went to Kiyomizudera, one of the most famous temples in Japan. It was huge! Usually it is only open during the day but they had a special night showing going on where they illuminated the leaves. It was VERY pretty, but there were so many people there that it was very annoying. Plus, unless you have a good camera and/or a good photographer, you can't really catch the beauty on film. All my pictures turned out to be crap but thankfully, we had Keaton who took some great pictures. Since it was so crowded we didn't really get to explore the entire temple. I feel like I would like to go again, but definitely when it is less crowded.
