Friday, April 1st: April Fools

The weather was glorious so we took advantage of it and went to Himeji castle. To some degree you could say Himeji castle is an April Fool's joke unto itself. You climb all these really steep stairs six floors of the castle expecting to see something really exciting and you get a Shinto Shrine.

Our legs were rubber by the time we finish. The stairs were so steep I had vertigo issues on the way down. We then went to some other sites, but my legs were giving out and I don't remember much else we did.
