was a full day. We began early going to the fish market. What a place and lots of Mr. Eyeballs. The place is a busy, all business fish market. Workers zip around on these forklift like vehicles and trucks are going all over the place. Kenji gave us strict orders...the workers are serious, walk single file, do not touch anything and no shouting (that was a challenge for some). The kids traveled by subway at the height of rush hour. They quickly saw how cramped and SILENT the subway cars were. Abbie actually read and kept quiet.
Next we went to Asakusa and the Lantern Temple. It was quite a sight. We took our picture in our red shirts there. Then on to a great (and relaxing) river cruise to the area of the Tokyo Tower. Kenji took the kids to the top of the tower. They have some great pictures of tokyo from way up top.
We then went shopping and shop we did. I have now reached a new low. I am now paying the kids to carry my bags. Paul, I got a bit carried away in the Oriental Bazaar again. But I did get Liz a beautiful shower gift (seeing as I missed both of them!). I told them they just have to get the stuff to the airport for me. Ray will take over from there.
I had to continue with the Mrs. Shick-isms though. Logan started saying "hey guys...Kenji is moving". They still don't get the arrows on the stairs and take over whole sidewalks. I accomplished stilling an entire hallway in a mall when I shouted stop. Had to apologize to the rest of the public and tell them they were free to move. We ended the day in a torrential downpour and a mad dash to the subway. We got to the hotel drenched.
Kenji's view of Tokyo was great. It has been so nice to spend this time with him. I told him I am working on getting him a nice girl to meet. He has been great with the kids and the kids great with him.
Well we leave tomorrow. I think everyone is ready. They have all said that they are tired. I just need you all to get one mesage to my husband. Meet me in Logan with a luggage cart. Tell hime it is not for the luggage, its for Allie and I!
I'll post one last post tomorrow. I will add more pictures if I have time tonight. We miss you all and again, thank you for this great trip. Allie and I have had a blast!!
