Often we had to remove our shoes and wear slippers ~ don't Bill's feet look dainty?

The Golden Pavilion
Today we enjoyed the city of Kyoto. We started the day taking the Shinkansen ~ bullet train. This train goes about 200 miles per hour. When we arrived we met our guide Akira and began our tour. We saw the Golden Pavilion (the top 2 levels are gold leaf), Nijo castle, Sanjusangendo (hundreds of buddhas are kept there), Kiyomizu Temple, and a zen temple established in 1202.
