A week of adventures!
It has been a busy week here in Kyoto. We had class every morning and then in the afternoons, we visited local sites. Student group visits were staggered throughout the week so as not to overwhelm each place with our sheer numbers, but we visited the Kyoto Bosai Center (Disaster Prevention), the Heian Jingu Shrine, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Eigamura, and Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. It was all fascinating and we got many priceless photos. Enjoy.
