Definitely had a lazy Sunday, which was very very nice. After I updated yesterday, I did some Japanese studying and reading for religion. I also decided to go take a little bit of a walk since the weather was nice out. I actually ambled over to the Kyoto Imperial Palace and walked around a little bit, perusing the small stalls etc. I exited from one of the west entrances and made my way down the alley between Doshisha University and Doshisha Women's College to Shokuji Temple. Since it was a Sunday, the temple itself wasn't open but the grounds were very pretty to walk. I guess I'll come back with some peeps to see the actual temple's insides.
From there I went on to see if I could find the other two Doshisha University campuses (there are four total, and three in the same vicinity). It was just nice to be out and to be able to tell where exactly things were. I'm getting more and more comfortable with my environment, which makes me feel a little more secure here.
Later, Nancy and I decided to go see the night show at the Nijo Castle, which only happens during the Sakura season. Last night was the last night so we google mapped it, and headed out. Of course, it started to rain a little bit. Not too bad. And it was still a little bit light out when we got there. I think that it was best not to be there in the complete dark. It was nice to see the Sakura trees accented by soft lights and the sunset. :) Even though the Sakura were dying, it was still a sight to definitely see.
Then we walked back and watched Pirates of the Caribbean 1 (Nancy's choice though obviously I was happy to oblige as it is my fav movie), ate crackers and cheese, basically had girls night, and then Nancy fell asleep, and I proceeded to do some Japanese and then go to bed. All in all a very fun and productive day!
