Pictures from Kyoto

This dragon reminds me of the character from The Neverending Story. Anyone remember him? What was his name again?

Taka and his family have a really old hat - it's from 16th century Portugal. How did it end up in Kyoto, I wonder?

Ailey and Taka in front of the golden pavilion. Yeah, that's right. It's a pavilion made of gold.

Actually it's just covered in gold, but it's still pretty cool.
