Kyoto (2)

First of all, I would like to share with you an example of the small problems you face in Japan when you can't speak Japanese. This is a water boiler, what are you supposed to do to get hot water in your mug?

Here is the Heian-jingu Temple:

Thanks for reminding me that I am supposed to go to the Louvre when I am back homr, in order to see the Vermeer exhibition:

The bridge close to the Nanzen-ji:

And then a very nice walk on the Path of Philosophy:

 

The Honen-ji, its cemetery and its garden:

 

And the last temple of the day, the Ginkakuji and its Silver Pavillion, whch never got covered with silver.

 

(and, no, the sculptures are not built in concrete, as I heard in the mouth of French tourists, there are made of sand...)

Black sesame ice cream, as a reward for this long walk.

And the second reward comes in the gardens of the Imperial Palace: first bit of blue sky in 4 days!

Looks like someone is getting married...
