drizzly foodie thursday in kyoto

It's cherry blossom season here.

But, the weather hasn't been too cooperative. Still, that didn't stop Tamakikat and I from checking out the blooms in her area.

In fact, the day we met up it was drizzly off and on the WHOLE day.

So, all my photos from that day have a gloomy greyish background.

Just imagine a clear blue sky background...

Lunch was at the Doshisha University cafeteria.

I had the daily special...500 yen. Roast pork with a tomato curry gravy, a piece of fried eggplant, cole slaw and some foccacia.

The pork was a little fatty, but for 500 yen, I think it was a good deal, not to mention quite tasty.

Not only were the cherry blossoms in bloom, but the mokuren (magnolia) also.

Dessert was at a cafe called Mo-An (mow-ahn) at the top of Mount Yoshida.

After climbing all those stairs up, a coffee float was in order.

Lots of walking, lots of talking, lots of drizzles....all in all still a great day!

Thanks for a great day Tamakikat!
