Kyoto & the Monkey Forest - Oct 17,2019

We can take the Bullet Train from Kyoto to Tokyo, its on the way. So we decided to go to Kyoto and spend the day and see a few things. The Bamboo forest, the Monkey Forest, and if we have time the Golden Temple. 2/3 isn't bad. Isabel went ahead to TOkyo the night before as she had already been to the Monkey Forest and the climb does not hepl her ankle, already stressed as it is. Kyoto was the most cultured city of the three we were at. Even though we were only there for a few hours, you got the feeling. So did the 1945 Atomic siting commitee as they pulled Kyoto off the list of cities that would be atomic bomb targets.
