Today was a much slower day than the one before it, for which I was very thankful-- I was still pretty beat after all the exploring we'd done in and around Kyoto! We did have a bit longer of a commute-- our destination was Nara, a city right across the border from Kyoto. We did take a train to get there, but it might as well have been down the street!

| On our way to Nara |
Our first stop was
Todai-ji, a massive Buddhist temple in Nara. This temple lay on the other side of Nara's infamous
Deer Park, through which we walked. Nara is known for its deer, which roam freely through the parks and streets. They're practically domesticated, and are so used to being fed by tourists that they'll come right up and steal brochures out of your hand (they seem to have developed a taste for paper, of all things).
