Miyajima Island









First stop on the journey was Miyajima Island with the famous Torii Gate in the water. It is supposed to be the third most picturesque sight in all of Japan. We took the ferry over to the island and what is the first thing we discover but that wild deer roam around freely. They often rub up close to you in hopes of finding something to eat. Quinn loved this, of course, and would talk to them and pet them. It was sometimes hard to get Q to keep walking because he wanted to hang out with the deer instead of checking out the sights. Neal and Scarlett took a picture with the world's largest rice scoop and Scarlett visited the Hello Kitty store. We visited many temples (good for my stamp book) and did a little geocaching. All around nice day in the sun.
