Saturday July 21

Saturday July 21
Kyoto, Japan

It was a much needed lazy day in Kyoto! First we stopped at our favorite bakery. Then Ms. Becker and I headed out and got the bus to the Philosopher's Walk but we never got off. It started to pour so we stayed on the bus and went back.

Our bus stop:


We got some lunch and went back to the hotel. We ended up snoozing for a good part do the day! We really needed it! I was running out of steam and getting home sick.





But we woke up feeling refreshed and had some dinner. We walked around to check out the night life in Kyoto. We both really love this town. It has a real college town feel, lots of young students around. There are a lot of great shops, clubs and places to eat. Our favorite tonight was this massive Godiva shop! It was like a Cathedral of chocolate!! It was huge and all lit up. That is one thing I have to say about Japan, there are plenty of sweet shops, ice cream places and chocolate shops (much more than China). Anyway, this Godiva had an amazing Belgium chocolate ice cream in a cone, with chocolate syrup and a piece of chocolate for decoration. That was it! I broke down, I had to have ice cream! Let's just say I have been avoiding all that stuff because I generally have tummy troubles. But the sight if that come was way to much for a chocoholic to turn down. And for the record, it was delicious! Ms. Becker and I both had one and you can see how happy we are. (I blame myself for Ms. Bisconti's need for ice cream. I saw the the Godiva store, and I've teased Ms. Bisconti with my own ice cream over the last three weeks she just couldn't take it anymore. Oops.)
