More Kyoto

We were in Kyoto during the perfect time to see the maple leaves changing colors (this is also why we had to pay a lot for a hotel room). For dinner on our second night we ate in a mall. Though, the meal was not like one you'd typically find in such surroundings. Instead it was a set meal of about 5-6 courses of amazing udon, sushi, pudding, and sweets.
Leo was actually very happy with this meal, though he didn't want to show it.

Day three started in the Nishiki marketwhich was filled with pickled things and lots of free samples. We then moved on to the Shogun palace of Nijo-jo and finally the Golden Pavilion (we had to take a cab there since it was a much longer walk than we had anticipated).

Oh,
this is the kind of market I was talking about! Have you got any apples there?
