Japan Day 12

6 August 2004 – 6:47 am

Today we went to Kyoto. We'd been warned that it was one of the hottest places in Japan, but I hadn't paid too much attention to the warnings thinking that I wouldn't really notice the difference after the heat I'd already been dealing with. Boy was I ever wrong! It was the [...]

Saturday
