Kobe - a rather large post - Part 1

So we went to Kobe for a little sightseeing and a little Jamaican food. Apparently, the only place in Kansai you can get Jamaican is in Kobe. Luckily for us Osaka folk, its only a 20 minute right on the super rapid. Yah! Our first leg of the trip was mostly us goofing off and wandering around Kobe. We had a coffee in a little cafe and then were going to find some cool sights to see. Here are some pics from part 1. We passed some cool new buildings *the city is very new as it fell down in the 90s during the big quake* and a cool little asian temple gate. The fountain was really neat. Carved dragons that spouted water. AND there are flowers on the street. Reminded me of Vancouver actually.



Part 2 tomorrow.....

FLowers on the street. Must ahve been warm. Not warm here. Evil, icy cold and messy salty slush. Yuck. OK, I will now stop whining. Glad you're having fun.

It was a gorgeous sunny day. And Kobe is coastal so its a little warmer than other parts :) Sorry about the crap in Canada. But I have to say I'm enjoying the warmer weather.
