Kyoto {Geisha}

I almost forgot to post this!  One of the things on my bucket list in Kyoto was seeing a real geisha.  There aren't many left in Japan, but Kyoto is a place where you can still find them.  They are talented, beautiful Japanese women trained in the art of entertaining.  They are not prostitutes!  One evening in Kyoto, we went to the Gion district with the express purpose of glimpsing a geisha.  We were lucky enough to see three of them!  The pictures are not great because it is so rare to see them and they move so quickly, we barely had time to get a picture.  Glad we got some pictures, but they really do not adequately convey their beauty and grace.
