The Deer in Nara
After a few days in Tokyo, Marc and I headed South of Japan, to Osaka, where we were going to stay for the majority of our two week vacation. While based there, we traveled to Nara for a day to visit its temples and see the famous deer that roamed its city's streets.
It didn't take long for us to see the deer. They literally were everywhere.

Hello little fellow!
The deer in Nara had gotten so familiar with people. They didn't run away in fright. In fact, they even approached people like they did to us.
