An excursion to Nara

A good ol' friend visiting Kyoto, so we went to explore Nara.  It was a fantastic day trip to see areas near Kintetsu Nara station.  We visited Cherry's spoon, where we had nice sandwiches, Nara Park with some 2,000 free-range deer, Manyo Botanical Garden, Kasuga Shrine, and Harushika Brewery and came back to Kyoto to have early dinner at a cafe that faces the river, where we had gluh (mulled) wine and salmon dishes.  It was super cold and windy outdoors, but it was a lot of fun!!

Nice seats like these...


That was a new experience!!  Thanks to my friend who booked this train ride right after they start taking reservations!
