The Japan Adventure has begun!! We got to the airport with plenty of time, checked in my luggage (half of the 40lbs for Stephen) was super fast, TSA was kind - now we wait...
Nishiki Market was our first stop for us intrepid tourists - wow! what a fun place! the food was fantastic and Dad tried a largest oyster I've seen.. and after enjoying some waygu beef and some tempura shrimp, it was off to drop Stephen back to the train, then off to Shinshu Honbyo then to Shosei-en Gardens and then, after a fantastic dinner, we walked throughout Nijo Castle and their light show..... Go Bucks!! Photo courtesy by Denise Standley Next stop for tomorrow, Osaka!!!
We did the touristy thing today and did the The Perfect Kyoto Bus tour and saw 7 different temples or shrines. The beauty of one yemple was outshined by the next temple... and then enjoyed some time in Gion area and a lovely dinner at a traditional Japanese restaurant- the first one that wasn't completely booked! After 21,000 steps, I am happily exhausted...until tomorrow.....
Have a safe trip and give our best to Stephen. Most of all have a WONDERFUL time! ❤️
