A Rainy Day in Nara

An old friend from Savannah, Hiskia, is traveling around Asia and has come to visit us in Japan. We have just started Golden Week, and had a day off, so we decided to go to Nara which is about an hour and a half train ride away. Unfortunately, it was a rainy windy day, but we decided to go anyways. The weather was horrible, so we decided to put Lola in daycare, because otherwise we'd be pushing her in a rainguard-covered stroller through the mud. Yuck!

We got to go to the Big Buddha, and Maximo definitely had a quote worth writing down

Daddy, I think the Buddha wants to give someone a high five.

The area around Todaji temple smelled like wet deer which wasn't the most appealing, but that didn't stop us from eating a lot of food from the street venders and stopping for Udon on the way home.

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
