we went, we saw, we ate and then we came home

this weekend was the first time takako and i could synchronize our schedules and take a trip together. and so we descended on kyoto, japon, armed with 2 kilos worth of guide books and stomachs as wide open and ready as the grand canyon. or somethin.

anyways, it was definitely a whirlwind tour; we arrived at 12 on Saturday and departed at 5 on Sunday which gave us exactly T minus 29 hours (not including sleeping time) to cram as much temple-viewing, food and touristy hobknobbery as we could into a tight time frame. and we were good for it.
