Downtown Kyoto, Japan VIII

The first rain since my arrival in Kyoto last week was freezing but it didn't dampen my spirits. 

As I was walking back to a train station after a little shopping in the downtown area, the rain finally let up.

Sidewalks on main thoroughfares criss-crossing the downtown district were packed with people, as usual.  But this time of the year, people carry more shopping bags and gifts, which doesn't make it easy to navigate through the crowd.  I was in a hurry but an attempt to move faster would be futile... I have learned to go with the flow.

Warm lights from a nearby sushi restaurant looked so inviting, both inside the restaurant and on a wet road.
