Stuff I knew you all would want to see...the view from our room on the 5th floor

"Check Please"
This is what I finally got Grace to eat. Sorry I didn't post it sooner I had technical difficulties again.

So like I said we wanted to go back to Pearl for B-fast - Hot Cake time! very good.

Hit the bus onto the temples for today and the Arashiyama District
Kinkakuji
Golden Pavilion Temple is Awesome

Not the best photo but couldn't believe the official little peoplez!


Hey it wasn't me feeding them today...wait I did...hehe

Ryoanji
Good thing they had a nice lake because the rock garden was under construction and we couldn't get that good of a pic.

Famous rock garden - AND KIM - something creative for our Little Miss Natalie

Now to the Arashiyama District. We decided to make it a short travel day because we wanted to get back early and pack and such. But, we did go to one last temple and walked the district a bit.
Tenryuji




We walked down a few streets there and I saw this sweet cream/vanilla/roll thing and wanted to try it. Grace calls it the Icky Log.

Then the view of the famous Togetsukyo Bridge and forested Mount Arashiyama


Cutting it short for now, hungy!

The golden pavilion is so yellow! Pigeons really are everywhere it seems, creepy.
Ah, the golden pavillion is gorgeous! Love the monks too! the rock garden is awesome... did you have any zen-like epiphanies?
