After, we traveled back to Kyoto Station and exchanged our rail pass tickets for next week. Nick, Jeff, and I leave for Hiroshima on Friday. Tenatively, we will be there for two days then Jeff will head home, but Nick and I will travel on to Tokyo to meet up with Hiro. From there we may stop at Yokohama, but we may run out of days on our 7 day unlimited pass. This pass is a gem. We can travel almost anywhere in Japan using the trains and most buses. We may be saving upwards of $150-200 by the time we are through next week.
Later on, the Japanese kids took Nick and I to this burger place called Log Kit in Kyoto Station. Here's a picture of the cow I ate.
It was delicious and apparently British American. Yusuke won the eating contest and overall Japan kicked America's ass. We had Nick Devlin, too. How'd that happen?
Later on the group split up and I walked around Kyoto with some people. We took in the fall weather and enjoyed the Saturday afternoon. Kyoto is absolutely spotless. It's the cleanest city I've ever been to and one of the nicest overall cities I think I may ever see. It maintains its intimacy without losing its grandeur. Absolutely wonderful.
We're playing basketball in the morning. I'll let you know how many points I drop in tomorrow's blog. Enjoy your Saturday.
