Kyoto Night One

Today we caught the bullet train at 10:06am and headed out to Kyoto. For those of you who don't know, Kyoto used to be the capital of Japan many many many years ago. We were able to go see one temple, the Kiyomizu (key o me zoo) Temple and then we retreated to the hotel to form our game plan for the remaining days.

Tonight we went to an Italian restaurant on the 10th floor of the hotel. Needless to say, it was a little fancy. Avery and I had a $10.00 plate of spaghetti (each) that was as big as my hand and Curtis had the "Chef's Tasting Special" for $30.00. Yes....his contained some unidentifiable things. I did try octopus tonight....too chewy for me..of course Curtis will eat anything that doesn't bite him first. Here are a few pics...

This is the view from our hotel room. You can see beautiful mountain ranges here that can't be captured well via photos.

No...Curtis has not improved on his spaghetti eating abilities...and shall I say...Like Father, Like Daughter!!!!!

Avery had to scrape the "green things" off her garlic bread before even trying it.


This was Curtis's "main dish" or as stated on the menu "meat dish"...his meal had 5 courses.

You can take the red necks out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the red necks! Like Mother, Like Daughter!!!

Ok...and for those of you just tuning in to our blog....be sure to see the post before this one where we went to Hiroshima...It was quite an experience! Be sure to keep checking back for more "National Lampoon's Brewer Vacation...Invasion of Japan"!
