Day 15. Another wonderful day in Kyoto and we relaxed after a tiring day with a free drink at the hotel.

Cathy after 3 hours at the flea market on Sunday.

The flea market was really crowded on a hot day.

This booth of textiles was a mess but most were more organized. We had to check out every one–probably 100 or so.

Rolls and rolls of fabrics. Most booths had a specialty. I bought mostly small one-meter fragments of old silk fabrics taken from old kimonos. Everything fit in my suitcase up to the brim. What I will do after the flea market in Tokyo I don’t know.

This is a Starbucks where we thought we’d rest up. It was jammed but it felt good to sit down and watch the people.
