Crossing the bridge to the river, we met a man who lives in Takayama. He was very nice and gave Eva a present of a packet of little papers with which to do origami.
This is the man we met on the bridge - he spoke English quite well.
Last stroll through the market.

This was the hallway outside of our guest room.
Guillermo peeking out our doors.
Most bathrooms where people live have this outside the room where the toilet is. You take off your house slippers on the brown floor and put on these toilet slippers to go into the toilet stall.
I can NOT get this next picture to upload in landscape position (which would make the words on the slippers easier to read), no matter what I try. ANYway, these are the special slippers the guest house had for guests to put on when using when using the toilet room.
After checking out of the guest house, we caught a taxi to the train station and then took a train to Kyoto. That was such a nice train ride, as actually they all were. While on the train, it was so tempting to constantly get my camera out because the scenery was always so interesting and beautiful. I also spent plenty of time on all the train rides we took listening to music on my ipod. "Keep the Streets Empty" by Fever Ray became my new favorite song while we were traveling by train. I liked that song so much I would listen to it over and over again and eventually that song later came to be a very powerful and excellent reminder of our time in Japan.
We are staying in a small apartment here in Kyoto.
