Kyoto-Kinkaku-ji

Another reason why Japanese women are so skinny. She has a baby in front (covered with a plastic tarp) and a toddler in back.

Ginkaku-Ji is the silver temple, and Kinkaku-Ji is the gold temple. One nice thing about the gold temple is that it really is covered in gold.

Kyoto-GinKaku-Ji & Byodo-in

First we went to the silver pavilion, Ginkaku-Ji. It is a zen buddhist temple. We got there early because there are so many tourists who visit this place.

The temple has lovely gardens

We did some shopping, and then we went to another temple, Byodo-In.

We saw a monk at a train station

An old buddha is in there. No pictures allowed inside
