My Nara Deer Encounter: Cute Bows and Heartfelt Curry! 🦌🍛

#summervacay My little one was just pointing at a signpost one second, and the next, we saw a whole herd of deer crossing the road! It was such a surprise and instantly put a smile on my face. We bought two packs of deer crackers, and honestly, all the deer we met were incredibly well-behaved. No "deer headbutting incidents," thankfully, haha! In fact, the deer we encountered actually bowed to us, which was just adorable. Even though it was super hot and sunny, it was still so worth it. These little deer are truly healing! After our wonderful deer encounter, we went to a curry place that had really high ratings on Google. It was a simple, family-run restaurant managed by a sweet elderly couple. The food was delicious, very humble, and the place was spotlessly clean – it felt so comfortable to eat there. Even though the dishes themselves were simple, the grandma had so many beautiful plates and bowls, and every single筷子 rest was adorable. It made me think, when I'm old, I want to live like that too – never settling, always appreciating the small beauties in life! #nara #naradeer #japantravel #deerfeeding #travelwithkids
