When we were in Sicily we met a darling young woman from Berlin on a walking food tour. We had an instant connection. I had just started learning German and she kindly offered to help me. We’ve kept in touch, and today we met up in Kyoto! (The whole world is visiting Japan these days. My Italian teacher was here last week.) It was so fun to see her again, share our Japanese travel experiences and trade stories.
Then we had a relaxing day wandering around the city. This aimless meandering is one of my favorite things to do on a trip, and Kyoto is so adorable.
We didn’t visit any shrines today. I was so tired of seeing shrines. Sorry Shinto followers.
We visited the Kyocera Art Museum and had a delicious lunch at a nearby cafe.
I had ice cream for dinner…vacation, right?
The bottles behind me in this soft-serve shop are filled with different kinds of honey you can choose as a topping for your ice cream.

Wandering and Kyoto absolutely go together. As I remember, there was really only traditional Japanese food when I was there. Lots of steamed fish, rice and dumplings.
