Japan Day 6

Day 6 of #gainesgeauxtojapan Happy New Years Eve from Kyoto. Once we arrived at our hotel after an interesting travel morning - our tour guide Tess met us after lunch. She said we would have “sexy” legs by the time our tour was over… she wasn’t wrong. She took us all over this beautiful city. We can appreciate what they believe and also feel a little sad as well. I had no idea how closely Buddhism and Hinduism resemble each other. One of the most interesting places she took us was the Sanjusagen-do, famous for its 1001 statues carved from cypress and covered in copper. They didn’t allow photos so I had to steal one from Google. I have to wonder what the Lord thinks of these places… also what he thinks of the ridiculously large albeit beautiful churches all over Europe. Traveling gives us such a broader scope to view the world. I did Facebook message the other Deshotel family from Lake Charles… small world.
