During our time in Osaka, we took a day trip to Nara and had a great time. We enjoyed seeing all the deer and as you'll see below, Yusaku even fed them. Olivia liked them from a distance, but got nervous if they got too close.
We visited Todai-ji Temple and saw the largest bronze statue of Buddha in the world. Yusaku and I had visited Nara on our trip in 2003, but it was great to see it again.
After some tea and snacks, we made our way back. Our train on the way back was filled with school children on their way home from school. I really enjoyed chatting with these two sweet girls below (with Kazumi's help, of course). Those kinds of experiences are what make a trip like this special for me. Sightseeing and eating the food are great too, but making a human connection is even more meaningful. Knowing I will likely never see them again, I asked them if it was okay if I could take their picture to remember them by. They were happy to oblige.
