No matter what the post time is – it is 6:13 AM, Tuesday July 13. We are in Kyoto, and I am using an old woman’s inability to sleep – has nothing to do with jet lag – everything to do with advancing years – to snag some internet time before the traveling companion wakes up and pounces on the single internet connection. Actually, the LAN is really fast, and it seems to be the internet connection of choice in Japan vice the US and Europe’s use of wifi.
Pictured above is the Kanazawa Castle. It burned down in the late 1890’s – and is being reconstructed.
Today, after breakfast, we’ll set out to see some of Kyoto. Kyoto get 50 million tourists – Japanese and international – every year. So, I’ll try to get us going early.
You know how zoo’s have notices to “don’t tease/feed/etc the animals” in Kyoto they have notices telling you “don’t hassle the geisha”.
