We have now moved to our new host group in the Shin-Koiwa district of Tokyo...closer, better, more fun! A coffee shop is about 3 doors down from the place we're staying...it's great!
Here's this week's recap:
Monday, we traveled to Kyoto at 4:39am. We got into Kyoto at 9:30am, and started to explore the city. I have numerous pictures of temples and shrines and gardens and...Japan! I'm uploading them slowly...keep checking on them!
That night, we spent the night in a hotel near Kyoto Station. It was beautiful...traditional tamami mats, futon beds, Kimono robes...fabulous! Check my photos on this, too! It was simple, yet perfect!
Tuesday, we woke up and tried to find internet...not happening! So, we found a place that you can get on a Japanese computer, but some emails sent from the computers were sent in Japanese. Oh well...Then, we got on a train and traveled to Osaka. We went to a wonderful place called, "Spa World." Yes, it was just that...8 floors of wonderful spa treatments for less than $10 US. You could get more things for more money...I ended up spending about $50 there...We made it back to Kyoto, but missed our train. Our rail passes expired Wednesday, so we caught the moonlight train to Tokyo and tried to sleep. We got into Ome around 7am, and relaxed for the rest of the day.
So, on Thursday, we packed up and traveled to Shin-Koiwa, and were treated to a wonderful dinner by our host group.
That's pretty much it! Kyoto and Spa World were fabulous...I'll blog about those probably when I get back in more detail!
See you guys soon,
Meg

Beautiful pics, Meg! Ginger doing great! Sounds like you're having a fantastic time--so glad! Mom has sold the condo--you will have a couple weeks to find a new place--don't worry--I'm praying about it--all will be fine! Did you have good audiences for the shows? Love you so much--Mom
