This is the night view out of Allen's window. He has a better view than we do here. You can see the trains zipping each way at the different rail stations. It is an awesome view.
We started out tonight to find a place to eat Japanese food but the Japanese Steak house was $85 each so we decided our stomachs didn't want it that much (and neither did our pocketbooks!) Given that we can't walk too far for Jim's sake, we settled for a sandwich shop near the hotel which was pretty good. We then made a stop at the grocery store and bought a few snacks for our dessert. That should tide us over until we get home. Tomorrow is our big day for this leg of the trip. I don't imagine we will get even a glimpse of Mt Fuji but we will do the tour just in case. We will get to take the bullet train and ride on the lake that should have views of Mt Fuji. It will be a nice day regardless. All of us are winding down and ready to head home. It has truly been a fabulous trip but we are all tired. Japan feels very different from China and it is a more comfortable environment for us than China as far as day to day luxuries and all. It is nice to be able to brush our teeth with tap water and the fancy toilets are really much nicer than the ones that are holes in the floor! But it is definitely more expensive here. If we could get out of the hotel area, I think we could find more reasonable things, but we are not going to be here long enough for that.
This program director does not seem as experienced as some but she is trying hard. She has borrowed a wheelchair for us to use on the tours today which was really nice. We could not ask for much more than what GCT has done for us on this trip.
The third photo is us playing with the new stuff at the Sony center. If could find faces and put them into focus.
Well, time for bed so we will be rested for tomorrow. Hope all of you are well. Glad to hear we got some rain!
