We arrived in Kyoto yesterday a.m. (23 Oct 2005) and will be here until the morning of the 25^th when we return to Tokyo-Narita. Not much else to report...we wandered around downtown Kyoto a bit before I decided I needed a break from cultural overload and returned to the hotel to crash for several hours.

Although the Westin Miyako has broadband in the rooms, the provisioning server is down (or their access control is blocking access to their provisioning server), in any event we only have limited access from the hotel business center. We're changing to a ryokan later today to rejoin the group for the last night of the trip, so this really is the last post before we return to Tokyo if not the U.S.
