Re-purpled
Eriko and me
It’s been a few weeks since I first had my hair dyed purple in Tokyo, and it had already faded quite a bit. So, when we returned to Tokyo for the last bit of our trip I stopped by Nalu Style Salon 76 to see if there was any chance they could dye it again before I return home.
Luckily they were able to see me today. I decided to go with a bit bolder purple this time, and once again I feel Eriko did a wonderful job! Eriko posted a nice photo of the new color on Instagram. I don’t know when I’ll get to visit Japan again, but when I do, I’ll go back to Salon 76 and have my hair done by her again.

June 6 (Day 9) Highlights & Instagram
On our second full day in Kyoto, our legs so tired from walking so much, we decided to rent bikes so we could get around the city a little easier and see more things that are farther apart. Turns out the bikes we rented were fixies, so we ended up wrecking our legs in a whole different way.
Here are some highlights, followed by the photos I posted to Instagram that day:

June 5 (Day 8) Highlights & Instagram
This was our first full day in Kyoto. We had planned to do a full-day bike tour, to see a lot of the sights and get a better sense of the city, but we found out on the train on the way here that the tour was cancelled due to bad weather. That was a bummer, and we scrambled to figure out what things we should do today instead.
