Mandy and i were excited to have some family members visit during the Christmas season. It is a bit unsettling to be thousands of miles away from a family gathering during Christmas, especially because we're accustomed to having a few of them each year. We missed turkey dinners, the famous flying Friesen gathering (on my side), the famous flying frumenty feast (on Mandy's side). But Misty and Tyler's visit was a great relief from all the absence of loved ones (besides each other). We had sushi for Christmas dinner! Talk about something we'll probably talk about later.
We first ventured out to Kyoto, where we found a Manga (japanese comics) museum, and we got to try our hand at it. We all became like kids, drawing ourselves in different situations. It was pretty fun and informative, but there was a distinct lack of huge, animated robots of popular characters, which we sort of expected.
This is a hotel facade in Kyoto. ...Oh, and there's Mandy and Misty too.
We stopped at the Golden Pavillion for some sushi left-overs snacks. It was such an interesting day, we had sun and snow at the same time, which made for great viewing of the temple.
This is Misty and Tyler looking at the most famous garden in Japan. it's at a temple called Ryoan-ji, and it's a dry garden, one that allows for good thinking.
Further adventures will be documented in later posts. Stay tuned...
