Enchanting Kyoto

Have not posted in many months.  Life here in Taiwan has been quite routine.  Work, school, charity, school and after school activities...life in general proceeding apace.

We did take one small trip, however, in early October to Kyoto, the former imperial capital of Japan.  Filled with palaces, gardens, and temples Kyoto (and nearby Nara) is rich with history.   We went for 5 days, staying in excellent little 2 floor townhouse well situated to explore the city.  Vegetarian eating was a bit tough, but we managed.  When we tired of the history we hopped a train down to Osaka, one of Japan's largest cities, to visit their outstanding aquarium.  It was a nice trip to learn about Japan and experience Japanese culture and society....  Here is a bit of what we saw
