31-Dec-2004    11:16.56 AM Snow in downtown Kyoto is not common. On New Year's Eve, we got about an inch during a few hours in the morning. This is the view from just outside our front door.	31-Dec-2004    11:17.15 AM	31-Dec-2004    11:17.30 AM
31-Dec-2004    11:17.46 AM That's our car (yellow Sienta) getting a dusting.	31-Dec-2004    11:40.21 AM We decided to take a drive to Kinkakuji ("The Golden Pavilion"), as it's famous for its beauty during the rare snowfall. The roads were slushy, uncrowded, and not particularly beautiful.	31-Dec-2004    11:47.50 AM
31-Dec-2004    12:07.32 PM In front of the enterance to Kinkauji.	31-Dec-2004    12:12.53 PM Kinkakuji ("The Golden Pavilion"). As we were arriving, the snow turned to rain, but the view was still nice. It was quite crowded, but I found a nice spot from which to take a few pictures.	31-Dec-2004    12:13.05 PM
