The Orange tower

Tokyo tower. It's funny how you see this all over the tourist info and then it's just there. The tower is right across from the medical buildings. Once the summer is over I think we will make a visit.

Obon is the 2nd week in August that you don't want to travel in Japan if possible. Much is closed and people go home to honor their loved ones and visit graves. Being 2012 that doesn't always happen and many people are here visiting the city. I'm told Disney is packed. Warning to anyone who wants to visit-don't this time of year. It's also very very hot and 91 degrees in a city and on trains isn't great. It should start to cool down in the next few weeks.


Someone asked if we have a view and this is where the bedrooms look out onto. It's the local street and actually very quiet. When school starts there are many children walking to school that is up the road and a kindergarten across the way. I am missing the kids laughter and the playing outside. Yes, they have recess here a few times a day.

Not much else. Feeling much better and I am getting antsy to go for a long run. Hopefully tomorrow.
