In early September, the Fellowship group took a three-day trip to Kyoto, the capitol of Japan back in the olden days. Look at this picture! This is the biggest group we've had at a Fellowship summer trip for about 5 years!
We tried something new this year--a suggestion from our dedicated planning team: to take an overnight bus back and forth to Kyoto. Wow--a SEVEN hour drive! Do you think anybody slept on the way down there? If your answer was "yes," you've obviously not worked with college students for a while...
We did the Kyoto thing--going around to get a taste of the rich history of this city, visiting a number of temples, shrines and gardens. But we also had a fun time doing everyday things--riding the buses, chatting in restaurants, relaxing in the public baths at the end of a long day. Lots of friendships were strengthened, a few new ones were made.
