A December day in Kyoto

Realized that I forgot to include pics from our day in Kyoto back in December when the kids were here visiting. We had a great day- although we missed Amberly, as she had yet to arrive.

Under the famous torii gates at the entrance Just a few of the thousands of torii gates.All the foxes were decked out with new bibs for the New Year. People leave all kinds of goodies for these foxes as they believe they are the carriers of their wishes to the god of grain and prosperity.Here is Andrew in front of one of the main buildings at Tofukuji, one of our favorite temples in Kyoto! We know the former priest and have really special memories of a visit back in 2001.

more signs of the upcoming Year of the Tiger!

Hard to believe that it's already February and this visit with the kids was already weeks ago! We hope the new year is off to a special start for all of you and we really will try to be more frequent bloggers!
