tokyo.




We got home from our big trip last night... been experiencing the jet lag today. :)  Mom figured up that we spent 44 hours on airplanes in two weeks.  wow.  So, we spent the day in Tokyo on our trip home.  We met up with our friend Daniel, and he showed us around the city... via lots of walking, subways, and trains.  It is a beautiful city with beautiful people.  I've never seen so many men in suits and ties in my life!  We went to the 45th floor of a building for a view of the city.  Then, we did some shopping and ate sushi for lunch... the real deal.  After that, we went to see the Imperial Palace, which made for some pretty photos, even though it was cloudy and rainy... nothing stops me.  lol.  The japanese cherry blossom trees were blooming around the city... saw the Tokyo Tower.  We grabbed some very expensive Starbucks and walked around the market/fish market... and ended the day with a bongo drum game in an arcade. :)  Busy day but glad we got to see the city!!
