greetings from. . .

Actually, I'm sitting at my desk in NYC, but my office mate is out "sick" today, so I thought that I'd get started on letting ya'll know about my vacation.

This is a picture of one of the most popular temples in Kyoto. It's really pretty, but not as cool as some of the others that we (the boy and I) saw on our trip. It's too bad that you can only take pictures of it and can't walk through it, or get anywhere near it. This is actually a recreation. The original temple burned down in the 1950s and they reconstructed it.


Kinkakuji (Golden) Temple, Kyoto, Japan

Our favorite temple was probably Eikan-do which is also in Kyoto. I don't have pictures back yet, but as soon as I do, I'll be sure to post a link.

I assume this is the temple that they attempt to ritually burn down every year?
