Filler for Kyoto

Today was our epic journey to Kyoto, Part I.  It was SO FREAKING INCREDIBLE, I can hardly stand it!  That there is going to be a Part II to Kyoto (when the weather clears up) is almost beyond belief.  And then there will be a trip to Nara (the even ancient-er capital of Japan), and Osaka Castle.  Not to mention the cool stuff I'll see when I head down to Ozu and see Mary Belle/meet the in-laws in a couple weeks.

My heart EXPLODES with joy!

It dances within my bosom like 'dis.

But I'm tired from the walking/sightseeing/picture taking/feeling like I'm in Heaven, and I need a lot more time to adequately describe the experience.

There is, however, time to show the WORLD that I conquered the arcade version of Taiko Drum Master while waiting for dinner!  I got a blister from playing ONE SONG, which goes to show that I was taking it way too seriously.

Eeeewwww....

Even so, it was a lot of fun (and somewhat nostalgic, seeing as I played the PSP version quite a bit).  I had Sarah film my attempt, so watch at your leisure, and look forward to the post on the AMAZING-NESS of Kyoto tomorrow (probably with fewer words in ALL CAPS because I will have had time to COOL DOWN after the INCREDIBLE trip...or SOMETHING).
