Nara City

One of the nights we were on our own for dinner, we went across to the mall and headed to the 11th floor (where all the restaurants were located).  We came across this stage - come to find out it was the equivalent of a Jerry Lewis telethon.



On Monday morning our tour guide loaded us back up on the train to take us to Nara City.  Nara is the capital city of the Nara Prefecture in the Kansai Region of Japan.  In Nara there are deer everywhere!  Deer are considered sacred ("messengers of the Gods in the Shinto religion") and they roam the area freely!  I have NEVER been this close to wild deer, let alone feed them some crackers!  This visit to Nara City was our absolute favorite part of the trip :)
