京KYOTO都 Pt.II

I realized that I didn't have anonymous posting available for my comments. Now, I do! So even if you don't have an account, you may still leave messages. Continuing my Kyoto adventure:


But first, some information about the shrine.


I took two photos, and I couldn't really decide which one's I liked best, so I'll let you choose! Please, don't forget to click on the pictures to see larger versions. My camera takes quality pictures!



Here, there were some very heavy things. You had to use all your might to try and lift them up.


Buddha!


Yes, I snuck in on the picture. Hehe. So silly. *^^*



We all were wondering if these were Japanese graves, but they are just names of trees. Haha.


This is a popular activity at the shrine. You catch the water (水"mizu") with a ladel and then you can purify yourself or I think I saw people putting some in a water bottle. It looked a little fun, but I didn't do it. Lots of people. . .


So, I heard from Naoko Takeuchi (The creator of Sailor Moon) that Kind Endymion's (The prince of the Earth in her comic) cape is supposed to be the color of a lavender sunset. I think I captured it! 美しい。。。


Nothing but fans! I want some!!!


I feel like I really got an opportunity here! Look at that beautiful full moon! Right above the gate too.



After the trip, we all went out to eat! (This isn't everyone). I ordered カツカレー(Katsu Curry, Pork.) It was pretty tastey. I don't think Japanese girls like spicey food, because the girl in front of me who ordered the same thing kept saying it was hot. It was a little spicy, but nothing we couldn't handle.
