Good morning, sake and sushi! Thanks to our adventure last night, we had an incredible sushi breakfast. Yes, we knew it was a tad bit early, but it was our last hurrah and we decided to crack open the sake because, let's face it, sushi without sake is like a day without sunshine! ; ) It was the perfect ending to a perfect trip.
Yum, yum, yum...
...and more yum.
Saaaakkkkeee!!
Dig in, Kara!
Such concentration...
...and such happiness!
After our incredible breakfast, it was time to pack up our bags and get ourselves back to the train station.
Very pretty manhole covers in Japan. : )
Here's our famous sushi restaurant.
We also found this cute little bar last night. What you see is what you get...a tiny little triangular room with six bar stools. We order two glasses of sake and they turned out to be $50 dollars a piece. After hearing this, we changed our order to rum and coke and they turned out to be $30 a piece! After hearing this...we left! We were quite amazed with how expensive everything is in Japan.
On our way back to the train station, we found a multiple story Japanese book store and decided to have a look-see. On the third floor, we were overjoyed to find a corner with a few shelves of English books. To my surprise and utter joy, we found a Sonoma and Napa Valley Wine Country book!
Me, standing in a bookstore in Tokyo, Japan pointing to my little home town of Windsor, California. It truly is a small world in which we live.
Locating our train back to Tokyo Station...
At Tokyo Station hopping on the Narita Express bound for Narita Airport...
Nice train...
...and even nicer bathroom! Pure luxury! Turned out we were in the first class car and were soon ushered to steerage with the rest of the common folk.
This is eerie. While having breakfast this morning, we felt a pretty good earthquake and some of the trains were stopped because of it.
You bet you will!
Plane bound for home...
I had such an amazing week and I am so grateful for Kara, Megan, and Veronica. Their friendship and the wonderful memories we created in Japan mean the world to me. : ) Thank you!
