Nara- Playing with the Bambis!

Monday, November 30, 2009
Stevie and I went to Nara Koen. Its a huge park with many temple/padogas and a huge shrine thing to Buddha. The coolest part though, by far, are the hundreds of friendly deer that walk around freely. It is said that the kamis (spirits) live in the deer. We bought deer cookies to feed the deer with, and if you bow to them, some of them bow back!

Dad saw a deer, a buck actually, with antlers, walking in our next door neighbor's yard,a few days ago! It is becoming more and more obvious that there is a lot of wildlife in our neighborhood.
