It was really beautiful.
After the temple, we headed out for a big lunch. And I mean big. It really hit the spot! These photos are of MY lunch only! Oh, and I got a big bowl of ramen that's NOT pictured here.
Then we found a beer vending machine. Rachael and I had Chu-his (think Mike's Hard Lemonade). Here I am ordering our drinks.
Here we are enjoying our drinks on the side of the street.
OK, get ready for this. Look closely!
Yep, that's me! Rachael and I got made up like Geishas. It was so much fun! This is certainly one of the highlights of my trip. First we changed into a thin pink robe (geisha underwear) and picked out our kimono. Then they painted our face and neck. This takes a long time. After that they put on the wig. The most interesting part was when they dressed us. You wouldn't belive all the layers involved. There was 3 robes layered and probably half a dozen belts around my waist. It was like a corset. I couldn't bend at all. What a great memory!
Check out this great video Brad took of us.
Here are some real Geisha.
