Trip to Kamakura

September 14, 2013 (Saturday)

The train to Kamakura takes a little under an hour.  It's a historic town, having been the capital for 141 years in the twelfth century.  It is super quaint and filled with temples, shrines and the Daibutsu (Great Buddha). 

Having spent an unbelievable amount of time getting my new cell phone that morning, we did not get to leave til a 2:50pm train.  While we never made it to the Daibutsu, we did hike along a beautiful trail through the woods, coming across temples, a shop where we sat outside and ate shaved ice with sugar syrup and enjoying the companionship of our new friends, Christian and Gullivi.
