EAJ - that's Mt. Fuji in the background!

First schwag!!

50 foot Wiimen!!

Katsu for lunch - the sesame seeds were so fragrant.

For dessert, I had a vinegar ice - it was surprisingly delicious!

Is everything cooler in Japan? Just about!

Mmm, dinner in the basket restaurant, Shinjuku.

Tofu salad with savory dressing, seasonal pumpkin, and pickled greens.

Raw whale (!!!), Chu-toro, and the jaw of a tuna.

On the left and right,  Fugu (the posion puffer fish).

Ice cream, green tea tiramisu, traditional jelly desserts and puddings were also served. Mmm.

Love is hope, and hope is everything.

 That is the lesson I learned in my travels this month.

Morning with raisin-cheese and maple breads.

A thrift fair - something I had never seen in Tokyo!

Sparkly department store lures!

If you flip through these quickly, you can see the eye spinning.

I, pirate!
