Hi everyone. We've just emerged from the internet black hole, so we'll try to catch you up on the last few days. Our first stop after leaving Tokyo was Osaka. We had scheduled an all day tour to Kyoto, so our views of Osaka were limited to those from the tour bus leaving and returning to town. Osaka is a very large modern city with two separate down town areas. Typically Japanese, there were some very interesting and tall office buildings with lots of neon lights. There's also a very large ferris wheel, which is lit at night. The color of lighting gives a forecast for the predicted weather for the next day. Green means a nice day is predicted.
After a 90 minute drive from Osaka to Kyoto, we visited three beautiful Shinto Shrines and Bhudist Temples, and were treated to a fantastic Japanese lunch at a local Kyoto restaurant. We returned to Osaka about 6:30pm, and set sail for Hiroshima.
