At Lake Ashi - beautiful family! |
Steve took advantage of their expat assignment to the Netherlands in the 1990s and visited on many occasions. So they make sure to return the favor and come see us. We have a wonderful time showing them around the Tokyo. We see all the highlights, and with more people you have more fun with the photos!
Breakfast on a stick! |
Beer for breakfast?!? |
At the Koishikawa Korakuen Garden the girls enjoy the stone bridge...
Superwoman pose |

Not a selfie |
...and have fun photobombing our selfie!
While the girls are shopping in Harajuku, Steve amuses himself with a mascot.
Japanese pose (seriously - every time we see Japanese kids taking a picture, they do this) |
Experiencing the subway is part of the enjoyment of visiting Tokyo! Everyone got to feel the rush hour sardine effect.
There are ten people touching me at once. |
And they learn to act like the locals - take a little cat nap when you can!
We would have woken you up if you started to drool. No, really, we mean it. (Okay, we would have taken a picture first.) |
Yum - I want one now! |
There are no pagodas in this picture. |
Some new things happen while visiting all the "old" places. Our friends got to see a ceremony taking place at our local shrine.
Do the musicians take requests? |
There's no way we'll miss a Swallows baseball game! Somehow, we manage to get tickets that allow us to get a free green jersey (they sell for $90 in the shop). Thankfully, Steve saw someone getting in a line and asked some questions. We hop in a line, show our tickets, and get the jersey. I'm starting to feel like a real fan!
Swallow fans |
Why a mini-umbrella? If they were full size we wouldn't get wet! |
I think the mascot looks for Steve at every game. See his pose... |
We finish up one night with a home cooked "Japanese" meal. Yes, we all fit around the table!
Good friends, good food! |
