bambi

still jet-legged and up since 2am.  taking a break from temples with a little wildlife action.  the deer of nara on photos.

end of day 8 in japan and lost in translation

we watched lost in translation last night, perhaps about our third time watching it.  particularly after this trip, the movie was just flat out hilarious.  oh man, that movie just nails everything about a foreigner's experience in japan.  we can talk more about that later.  

i'm almost close to finishing processing my trip photos, only two days remaining.  i've posted pictures of ninna-ji on photos.

quiet

found some quiet in tojiin.  literally just pete and me for a solid 30 minutes to enjoy the sun and the rock garden.
