Yoshi,
Thank you for sending these pictures and for your warmth and hospitality throughout our tour. The city of Kyoto is magnificent, of course, but having you as our guide made it even better.
You have our permission to use any pictures you took of us on your website. Last, I really like your "back by popular demand" Peace Symbol T-shirt. I need to get one!
Warm regards,
