Hello Nara

While staying in Kyoto we ventured a bit out of the city and did a one day walking tour of Nara (http://www.narawalk.com/). We were very fortunate as there was no other people signed up with us so we got a private tour with our fabulously sweet and charming guide, Reiko. Nara is such a sweet and beautiful city and I would recomend it to anyone visiting Japan :)

Sean and I infront of the Sarusawa Pond - the pond is filled with turtles which represent longevity.

Hōryū-ji temple grounds which feature the five story pagoda - one of the oldest wooden sturctures in the world! The top left picture is Yumedono or Nanendo Hall (Hall of dreams).
