S. and I took the bullet train to Kyoto today. We bought bento boxes in the station--salad, miso fish, and these little tofu skin and beef rolls (all yummy ). Heading west there were rice paddies in the small towns. I spoke at the American studies colloquium at Doshisha university, a private university started byProtestant missionaries in the 19 century. Our hosts took us to dinner (Japanesey-French) at a restaurant on the top floor of the law school, with fabulous views of the mountains that surround Kyoto on three sides.
