So, shortly after setting up my home, I welcomed a handsome house guest.
Even though Brian has been "over here" a lot longer than I have, he was semi-instantly deployed upon his arrival, so luckily, we were able to discover Japan together. And actually, since Japan is about the length of Maine to Florida with the land mass of California, when I say explore Japan, I mean we got acclimated to the little bit of Japan that's around us.
We saw fireworks in Yokohama,
went back to Yokohama the next day to explore China Town,
bought a new bike and baby seat,
Biked over to a friend's place in Zama,
went to the zoo with the Thomas',
played in the pool in our backyard,
had a date at an amazing korean bbq joint,
discovered several places we will return to and others we will not...
witnessed a couple bon odori festivals (which are festivals involving dances and the honoring ancestors),
and before Brian skipped town, we snagged a date in Tokyo!
we biked to the train station,
caught a train to Shibuya/Tokyo,
crossed the busiest intersection in Japan,
shopped for books and music,
and then,
relished in a 5 star dinner with exquisite wine pairings.
We took a taxi to the train and then biked home.
From biking to spectacular meals, we have loved experiencing the full gamut.
And to think, this is only the beginning!
