This is the first chance I’ve had to catch up! Blogging setup is annoying me less than usual today, so I’ve managed to power through a few things!
We went to the Imperial Palace today, as it was 8 degrees and sunny, so reasonable weather to go outside and walk around. You can’t go inside any of the buildings, but the grounds are really nice.
I love the photos of the old style buildings, with the skyscrapers behind them. 😛 This was a lot of walking, and personally I enjoyed it less than the gardens and shrine we saw the other day. Lots more shrines in our future, and lots more opportunity to compare and contrast them! 🙂
Pay attention to the large stone blocks, we learned later on that some are signed by the artisans of the various walls and stone movement. Also the various stone sizes, some are massive. Makes for an interesting view over the entire trip.
