Something that I've been asked about is what are those pictures with the stamps Joan? They are Goshuin. It's a way people document their pilgrimage to the various temples and shrines. It has become a very popular way for tourists also collect a unique souvenir of their trip. I didn't start taking pictures of the place with the stamps until Kyoto.
Here's some more information.

#AdventuresofJoanandDan Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
Teppanyaki Dinner
Dan and I had an amazing honeymoon dinner tonight. On the 19th floor of our hotel is a teppanyaki restaurant. It was a beautiful sunset and the Osaka skyline was unreal. We had some wonderful Osaka white wine and a skilled chef made us a great dinner right in front of us. They even brought us a surprise dessert to celebrate. It even had a sparkler!!

Nara, Todaji Temple and the Deer
Today was our adventure in Nara. At Todaji temple we visited one of the large Buddha statues. It was so beautiful.
The deer 🦌 are another huge draw to Nara. They bow. Not kidding. You'll see in the videos.

Osaka
Our hotel for the next few days. What an amazing check-in process. They take out of country visitors to a separate floor for check-in. They have drinks, video games and dressed me up in a yukata. Osaka is off to a great start.
