Yuki and Grandpa. Grandma made a HUGE spread of very special Japanese foods. Absolutely delicious, and such a treat for Mum and Dad to be able to meet these people who've really adopted me as their own. My highlight of the trip

This path running North-East along the Eastern edge of Kyoto is dotted with little temples, where people are few and far between. My kinda places!

Nanzenji- the final temple of the day, as the sun set. Again, huge, impressive temple grounds. We even found an aquaduct in this one!
