Two Reasons To Visit New York

So in April, S & M came from Noo Yoik to spend 10 days in Japan. I was lucky enough to have them spend it in the Kansai region - even staying along my train line!

Here are some photos from our day in Kyoto:

Kyoto, April 2006 (1)

Here we are in Arashiyama. Thanks to M for the photo!

Beer vending machine

I think we were in the area of Tenryuji when I spotted this VERY OLD SKOOL beer vending machine in a residential area. I found out that the woman is from a very famous beer commercial back in the.. 50s? 60s?

Night Sakura

S & M are two bee-oo-tiful friends who I had a great time with. Lots of laughs! Hope to see you soon!

Hey Sam,

Glad you had fun with your Noo-Yoiker friends :)

How were the blossoms at Kiyomizu Dera? We were down there with my Dad about a month ago and missed out on them :(

Mel! You shoulda given me a shout when you were down :)

Even at night, as you can see from my fuzzy cellphone pic, the Kiyomiz blossoms were awesome!

You can always catch the Hokkaido ones.. in a few months - I hear it's STILL snowing up there!
