The Kado Family Adventure (Day 4: Nara)

Day 4 Okaasan invited us to have breakfast in a nearby Soba restaurant. I wasn't that hungry but, as we know, the hunger arises while eating...Then, Okaasan took us to the hospital where she volonteers, to have a clayfighting with the obaachan and ojiisan that spend the day over there. The language barrier was important, but we made ourselves understood...Okaasan is a clay modeling master, and all her friends seem to do some craft: paper dolls, fabric dolls, sculpture, painting, etc...After the time with the viejitos, we went straight to Nara, first crossing Osaka city... In Nara, 37 degrees welcomed us... it was really hot, like Ecuador... The first target was the Garden of Unbelivable Quietnesshood (I forgot the real name), a place containing ancient tea rooms and my favorite vegetable: moss (en cristiano: musgo)Que calorsh!!!!!!!!Moss relaxation...Inmediately we moved to the Toudai-ji area...This place should be called the Garden of the 10,000 Deers, because there are almost as many deers as visitors...I was attacked by angry deers and one of them had my arse bitten...The Toudai-ji was just imponent! and inside, the great Buddha!The Buddha weights 500 tons, but He Himself needs some help to protect Japan. That's why He has the company of 2 protecting gods (or demons, not sure)...We continued walking in the complex, admiring buildings and encountering deers all around...By the way, deers are like goats, they eat anything!In Ecuador, we have dogs outside the stores... here we saw deers!After a light lunch, we moved then to Koufuku-ji, to see the famous 5 storied pagoda. The pagoda layers apparently mean Hearth, Fire, Water, Wind and Sky. Not sure about the order...Emiko had a sudden hatred rage and attacked me in front of the sacred building...The sun shined beautifully on the temple's roof...As usual, plenty of deers... We tried to visit the museum, but was already closed (5 PM)... So we had a rest, surrounded by countless deers...This deer was trying to step into a shop, and then came to me to smell my armpit...Time to return home, and again, some teammembers started to underperform... I almost forgot to say, to be fair, that I fell sleep almost all the way to Nara...Back home, we went to have a sushi dinner outside, invitation of Nobuo-san. ども、すみません。Lots and lots of varied sushi... oishikatta!To return home, and in the purest Ecuadorian style, all of us stucked in Otousan's taxi.Andy is like 15 Kg heavier than me, but I rised him to demonstrate my genkiness!For Emiko, however, was easy to rise Kyouko-chan...Okaasan had a nice dessert for us: ice cream! Very interesting, the ice cream of a certain flavor comes inside the fruit that provides the flavor...And finally, I fell in my futon, and rested...
