my brain hit a wall sometime in the middle of the day today - seeing too many beautiful places in a short amount of time.  i went to arashiyama, on the western side of kyoto, if you want to look it up. i took a TON of pictures, but i'm not ready to sit here and start working on them.  taking the bus to sasayama tomorrow - hopefully after a little decompression i can get back on it.  had a great time today- really, i'm just a little overwhelmed, i guess.  kyoto's famous for this.
