Yesterday we went to the bamboo forest and to see the wild monkeys.  There was a garden between the two full of azaleas.  They were beautiful. The monkeys were just walking around everywhere. One walked right up to me when I was sitting on a bench. We saw a baby just old enough to wander a foot ore two away from his mama but he still had no teeth. We have some photos of him suckling. It was too cute. We went to a playground for the kids and as usual the blond haired blue eyed baby had an entourage of Asians.

Today we went on a tour and some some different temples. They were gorgeous, the best I have seen yet.  However, the tour was very rushed and we found ourselves withing we had just gone on our own. Tonight we are going to the Gion district to have dinner and see the Geisha.
