Dumpling Night Ride


A night ride with the Guell crew on Friday. The destination was Kizugawa City, north of Nara just over the border in Kyoto prefecture...


Eerily deserted roads as we made the climb into Kyoto... 


The night's goal was a roadside gyoza dumpling van, apparently a popular spot with locals looking for dumplings... 



The crew make their choices...


We took this photo at least five times. This is the best one we got. Even after some heavy editing with Fotor...


Crew fed and ready for the return journey back to Nara...


Cheers to Toshio, Susumu and the Guell crew. If you are ever in Kizugawa City and have the urge for gyoza then you know where to go...

A beautiful sunset over Heijo...
