I finally saw a geisha...

so yesterday we did not have a long travel day only about 3 hours on the bus so we had a travel stop in Kyoto...i was looking forward to seeing a geisha because I had heard that this is where they all are...I was really hoping to see one!!! well i did and it was great!! They are so prim and proper it is amazing....and their kimonos are amazing. i still am not sure how they walk in 4 inch wooden sandals all day....i guess some things are still a mystery.

while seeing the geisha we also saw and amazing temple....kiyomizu temple. very pretty!!! check out the pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/cdickhans/Kyoto100806

off to bed....
