Kyoto 2012

Arrival 7th December. Some of the Maple trees still in their glorious Autumn colours. So far cold but bright and sunny, only rain in the night. Where we are staying is near the Yoshida Shrine, a persimmon tree in full of fruit in the grounds. Yesterday we walked down to the river and town. Glenn was filming kites and Ian and I were taking photos in the food department of Takeshimaya amongst the birdlike cries of the vendors welcoming the customers. This afternoon we go to the Arton Art Gallery and perhaps use their wifi to put up this page.
Next Day
Spent all the time in the Arton Art Gallery sorting out
the Exhibition, no time or availability for putting this all on the website. Hopefully tomorrow may be better.
