Let's Go to Kyoto! Day 2: World Heritage Sites and Bus Adventures

Sorry for the delay; I have my placement test on Tuesday, so I've been busy studying all weekend! I'm taking a bit of a break now, so I've decided to go ahead and update everyone on the second day of the Kyoto trip!

On Thursday, we woke up early because we had planned out a busy day for ourselves. We had plans to visit many places, including 3 UNESCO World Heritage sites, and we also needed to figure out Kyoto's bus system, since the subway system is, compared to Tokyo's, incredibly lacking. We were lucky enough to stumble upon two one-day tourist passes for the bus, thanks to some people who were checking out of our hotel, for free (they usually cost ￥500, or around $6.00), which was awesome because our plans for the day involved quite a lot of bus riding!

Well I'm back. I've been back for a few days, but I've needed the time to recover and sort through nearly 600(!!) photos and study for placement tests (next Tuesday ahhhhhhh) and also attempt to enroll for next semester (still haven't managed to accomplish that one; we'll get there), but I'm finally back on my feet (I think).
