Catching up on a few overdue blogs the next couple of days so you can know what we've been up to. Our team took a trip to Kyoto a couple weekends ago. We marked the halfway point of outreach visiting one of the largest and most historical cities in Japan. Kyoto used to be the imperial capital and today it's one of the cultural and education centers of Japan. About 1.5 million people live in Kyoto and it's home to lots of temples and shrines as well as Nintendo's headquarters. Here's some pictures from our 2 days in Kyoto:
 |
| We got to take the bullet train. |
 |
| It's really fast and has a smooth ride. Bullet trains can travel up to 217 MPH. |
 |
| The newleyweds. |
 |
| Having clean hands on the bullet train is really important. |
 |
| We visited Nijo castle, one of the largest shrines in Kyoto. |
 |
| The Japanese shrines are nice but if you've seen one shrine in Japan, you've seen them all. |
 |
| The hotel in Kyoto was nice and had great pajamas. |
 |
| Dr. Chee showed up at the hotel. |
 |
| The kids enjoyed the time at the hotel. |
 |
| We went to the Kyoto Studio Park where they shoot the samurai movies. |
 |
| We got the crap scared out of us in the Samurai haunted house. |
 |
 |
| Kyoto space needle. |
 |
| We took the longest suspension bridge in the world to Kyoto. |
 |
| Ryan offered to drive on the way back but it wasn't necessary. |
