Today was the final day in a week long stint of Halloween lessons where I got to don a hot pink wig and witch costume. The wig was from a 100 Yen store...purchased for about 405 Yen, and the hat from Claire's at the mall. The dress I had brought from Atlanta for whatever special occasion might occur. I wish I could post pictures...but since I'm with my kids (students), I might need special permission from the parents or something. Ooooh but everyone looked so cute! Mostly witches, pumpkins and princesses, with the occasional little sparkly devil horns or the mini Halloween hat.

I think Fushimi Inari shrine was the highlight of our trip to Kyoto. Four hours in the rain negotiating hundreds of stairs through and by thousands of Tori gates and Inari statues everywhere. It was amazing.

I've started a gallery of the trip but it is no where near complete, please excuse some of the blurred pics, I was walking in the rain and taking pictures casually.
