Zach and I went to Kyoto! We had a good time, although the weather could have been better and there were some camera battery mishaps. We ate some tasty miso ramen, and I finally figured out why my sister wanted Subway so much when I went to Kyoto with her. Sandwiches without mayonnaise are a true rarity in Japan. Good cold cuts are hard enough to find. We were very lucky to fit on the bus on the way back to Kyoto station–if we had waited at the next stop we wouldn’t have been able to get on, and then we would have missed our train!
