Nara

Over the weekend I went to Nara with my Mom, M, and A. Our first stop was the five-story pagoda at Horyuji.
Our second stop was Nara Park, famous for its fearless deer.

Our next stop was the giant Buddha located in Nara Park.
After visiting the Buddha we went to the National Museum which was showing the 60th annual exhibit of National Treasures. There are 64 buildings and 143 pieces of art in Nara prefecture that are designated as National treasures and yesterday we were only able to see a few of them. Nara is definitely not a place to be seen in one day, even if it is a day that starts at 6am and ends at 11:30pm.
