Tokyo!

Wow - time is flying by super fast!  I can't believe that we're leaving in 3 weeks!

Last week we went to Tokyo and it was awesome!  We stayed with my friend Beth and her husband Shawn at their really, really nice house in Shinjuku.

We took the shinkansen (bullet train) up to Tokyo on Sunday night and wow, was it nice.  It goes over 200 mph and is an incredibly smooth ride.  We got in late so we caught up with Beth and Shawn and then headed to bed.

Monday consisted of a leisurely lunch in the park in Shinjuku and then off we went!  First to Shibuya to see the famously busy intersection and some shopping, then to Harajuku for more shopping.  I 

went to the MAC store in Harajuku and it happened to be a Pro Store which was really cool because there aren't any pro stores in MN.  We headed back to Beth's place picked up Shawn and had dinner at a really good Indian restaurant near their house.

Tuesday we went to the Imperial Palace, Ginza for shopping and then Meiji Shrine.  Ginza was crazy - so many high end stores.  Willard was extremely happy to go to the Ginza Apple store, of course.  After dinner we had to head back home to Akashi on the Shinkansen.

It was a short trip but a lot of fun!  Click HERE to see the pics!
