From Nara station where we slept, we went to our Ryokan for the upcoming evening/night: Hotel New Wakasa where we dropped our luggage and met Mino-San, our guide for the day whom I was able to book the previous night and was thankfully able to meet us the next morning to share her knowledge with us and give us a great 6H guided tour of Nara Park, the temples, and finishing in old town where Jennifer got to enjoy sake tasting :)
The week we were there, was also "schoolkid visit everything" week, so we saw many everywhere :)

Todai-ji, which houses the great Buddha
it's supposed to be good luck to go through this hole in a pillar
this one knew where the rice crackers came from :)
hello, pet me and I'll eat your map :)
some school kids started being overwhelmed by the attention a bit :)
nice and quiet after everyone has left :)
