Home & Tired.

Robes in Tokyo hotel! It was a wonderful 1970's James Bond looking hotel.

Hotel room bibles.

Observing from inside the city seems painful - but I guess they do it!


Here are some final shots from Tokyo and my final few days in Mito City. Overall it was a blast. Too short for the number of things I wanted to see and do - but at least I now know the ways .... for the next trip that is.

Japan Day 2.5 (or is it 3).

Today was a day of visiting gardens and shrines. My how my feet hurt. I decided after seeing the 3 greatest garden in Japan to take a load off my feet and get my nails done. I can't count on one hand the number of times I've had my nails done. A very relaxing experience. Last night was dinner out at a cook your own place. It was fantastic (although mine had to go back to have the egg removed). Tonight is tempura and sushi. Hmmm - I can't wait for Mike to get back to the hotel.

Japan - Where Does The Water Go?

My first yen.  My how exciting.  We left ABQ at 6am and got into Japan 8pm the next day.  Basically all of Saturday and Sunday were lost (well lost on a plane ride).  The hotel room is just big enough for a bed that will fit 2 short people and the toilet has WAY too many controls.  I'm worried where the water might go.   Free internet in the room.  I'll try to keep the posts coming.
