2 months + later... thursday in japan

this is the train that took us away from chieko and ray
a sad day for me

saying good bye at the station

this is out of order, but it is just cute
maybe i already posted it even

from kanazawa, we went to nara
the first permanent capital of japan.
the place is crawling with "sacred deer"


pretty manhole cover


we did not ride in a rickshaw


the deer were THIS close


and they were friendly, although casey knows someone who was bitten by one of the deer


so they sell food


and this is what happens when the deer know you have some


todai-ji temple
the world's largest wooden building

inside the temple is a tree..
It is considered to be good luck for visitors to crawl through this hole.
there was a line of people waiting to try... everyone i saw, made it through


just wandering down a side street
