Arrival: Kyoto

We arrived in Kyoto late last night after a 2-hour bus ride from the airport in Osaka. Right now we are in the middle of our whirlwind tour of Kyoto since we are leaving tomorrow afternoon on the bullet train bound for Tokyo. Our hotel, a Ryokan, is very traditional with bamboo mats and beds on the floor. Most of us also have pictures of the bathroom, which is little more than a glorified airplane bathroom with a tub. The highlight of the afternoon is a visit to the Imperial Palace; I thought that was a Vegas original!
