Be My Light

Today we had a guided tour of different sights in Kyoto. I felt like I was in the Rolling Stones as we were ushered to four different sights with our own personal bus. We visited the Kiyomizu-dera which was one of the finalists for the New 7 Wonders of the World. It's a temple built into a hill surrounded by beautiful colors with the city looming below.

My favorite part of the day was visiting the Heian Shrine. For those Lost in Translation lovers, think back to the scene where Charlotte is hopping across the stepping stones. This was filmed here and it's in the beautiful garden section of the Shrine. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of batteries but I'll be heading back sometime to take some pictures of the fall colors and take in some alone time there.

*Thank you to Erik Hajek for spellings and names of these places. Without his facebook photos, I would be referring to these sights as, that one place, or the big thing with the wood.*
