Nara Park

Nara Park

As evening wore on we walked over to Nara Park, or more appropriately called Deer Park. Thousands of gentle deer can be fed and petted. Nearby a crowd formed around a young performing artist who juggled flaming batons and knives. El and I just wandered around until the sun set. It was a nice ending to a full day. Afterwards we took the bus back to the Rihga Royal Hotel where we dined on (at our hesitation) MCDONALD'S. We had no choice really. We were incredibly hungry and didn't feel like getting cleaned up and dressed for dinner. All I wanted was a hot shower and something to eat - ANYTHING. After all the delicious Kyoto cuisine we had been dining on, eating McDonald's for "a taste of home" actually made me want to puke. I can't believe Americans eat this crap all the time.
