Crowds and Kimonos: The Beauty of Kyoto

I went to Kyoto last Sunday with my friend, Haruna. Because of the cherry blossoms, Kyoto was vibrant and filled with people. We both went to a special kimono rental place and rented kimonos for the day. They dress you in three layers of kimono. I chose a purple one and Haruna chose a tan one with purple flowers. The kimono was a little tight but more comfortable than I would have imagined. Haruna taught me the proper way to walk. I felt so elegant walking around in a kimono looking at cherry blossoms and temples! I definately lived out a childhood fantasy!
