Hey from Japan, dudes.
I am SO itchy right now. Japanese mosquitoes are merciless, and for some reason they tend to like the calf/ankle area best. Arrgh. I'm off to go apply my lovely Japanese mentholated mosquito bite cream soon.
Tonight's our last night in Kyoto. It's been amazing. We've fit a lot of stuff into two and a half days or so. We saw geishas! Real ones! They came out of an alley really fast and got into a taxi, but Katie got some pictures. We've dressed up in yukata (summer kimono), seen temples, eaten more yatsuhashi than I would have thought possible... It's been quite the adventure. Tomorrow morning we move on to Osaka.
I hope you guys are reading the travel blog for more regular updates (sometimes with pictures! oooh, shiny shiny pictures!). It can be found
here.
Hope everyone's well and having fun. Oyasumi nasai (good night).
