Tune in Tokyo!

Ok so I'm a little late but here's our trip wrap up. Dan and I had a great time in the US and we wanted to thank everyone again who busted outta their norm one way or another so we could soak up some of your sun. We had a wonderful time with everyone. I was reminded and refreshed with such great family and friends that I have. I'm eager for him to meet the rest of you but he sure knocked out a huge chunk of the list on this trip! The man is a trooper. It was pretty overwhelming but so much fun.

So here's a few pics from Tokyo (where we spent 2 nights on our way back to Oz). Japan was....intense. Tokyo is not my cup of tea but I think the rest of Japan might be. Tokyo is such a new city in relation to the rest of it...I'm into the history and culture of Japan (as an ancient country), not the hottest trends in fashion and architecture. So much of Tokyowas annoying to me. It was just a series of Times Squares (one of my least favorite places on earth). Miraculously though, there was a little park/temple oasis that we found after about 7 hours of site seeing. That was a nice break. But by then we were too tired to continue much further into the really good stuff. And unfortunately we didn't get to experience the cuisine too much because most restaurants gave their menus in Japanese with only photos for us tourists to point to. No way in hell I'm picking off a photo. I don't wanna end up eating fire-breathing squid poop just b/c it looks like chocolate! Anyway, here's the photos...we've got the view from the hotel (where we had this magical heated seat toilet...I highly recommend...), our oasis, some train station/mall and some street views walking around. Enjoy. =)
