最後の観光 － 御所 ＆ 大原

Yesterday and today I went on a couple of small sightseeing trips. Yesterday with Keiko we went to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto where the Emperor used to live way back in the days when Kyoto was the capital. As we were walking I jumped across a little moat and landed on the other side, unknowingly setting off a blaring motion security alarm. Way to go out in style T-Mac.

Today I headed up to a small town called Ohara just northeast of the city. The area is incredibly beautiful and very peaceful. I took in the sights of Sanzein Temple as well as the Soundless Waterfall (which does make a sound) and some points in between. I'm hoping I can make it to Nara on Sunday, but if not these will be my last sightseeing trips, and probably my last post before arriving back in Canada on Tuesday. I started cleaning up my room and packing yesterday. I didn't realize how my stuff I had until I actually started to go through it. Anyway here are the pictures. I've been taking a lot of pictures in black and white recently because I think they're classy.
