Kyoto

Had a meeting down in Nagoya last week and decided to take the 30 min train down to Kyoto. Lots of stuff to do there and I definitely was not prepared. Saw a few maiko (Geisha in training). Saw about 4 or 5 shrines, and went through the fushima hike where there were thousands of torii gates. Apparently the gates are bought and left normally as a prayer type offering to a specific god, there were also little stores along the 'hike' at each god that had sake to leave for an offering as well. I definitely need to go back and see the golden shrine, we saw the silver shrine but it wasnt so silver, had a nice garden though.
