Pictures from Nagoya, we were there last Saturday and Sunday. Also included are Kyoto and Nara. We leave Kyoto tomorrow (Friday) for Osaka. Kyoto is probably my favorite city so far. Lots of temples for meditation, cool shrines, awesome musicians and sushi. We even ate a few McDonald's items to try them out. The teriyaki burger and pork and potato pie are pretty delicious.

The deer in Nara are so tame that they don't care what you do to them as long as you feed them something. Walter and I rode them around for transporation around the city.
