Last Day in Tokyo





Well, we certainly packed a lot of action into the last day. I won't bore you with the details, but here are the highlights: Tokyo Edo Museum, traditional Japanese lunch (we had to go outside and point to what we wanted), Mitsukoshi for chocolates, Shibuya, dinner at Cafe 8, a trip to Mori Tower observatory and Art Museum, Cold Stone Creamery and finally a walk through Roppongi at night.

I think they have had a great week. They certainly saw and did new things and became somewhat comfortable in this city of 17 million. There are some funny stories to tell, but I know the boys will want to tell you themselves, so I won't deprive them of that pleasure. Every time something strange or embarrassing or funny happened, we just said "There's another good story to tell!"

We will put them on the express train to the airport tomorrow and send them back to 'lil old Trumansburg. Perhaps home will never quite look the same.
