School again. Monday, again. Yuck. But at least this time I had a chance to sleep in a bit.
After class I wandered near our school with Prae, David, and Benz. We walked along yet another riverside and visited yet another temple. Surprise! The neat thing is that all the rivers I've been to so far have been pretty distinct and also just plain pretty. This particular river had this area with stepping stones all the way across. The river was pretty wide and hopping from stone to stone was quite fantastic. I enjoy wandering and I enjoy walking so Kyoto is kind of perfect for me.
We We concluded our exploration with a stop at one of the many sweetshops in near our school and I bought some mochi for my host family. Sweetshops, also one of the reasons why Kyoto is perfect for me.
I wish I could say that I did more, but not really. I did get a chance to skype and chat with some family and friends. Technology for the win.
Oh and my JR pass came in the mail today, which means I can start making plans for Golden Week, Japan's weeklong national holiday where people just travel around. Yay! It's like a second spring break after my month long spring break. Unfortunately all this vacation time cuts into my summer. But oh well, it'll give me a chance to explore and wander other parts of Japan.
