About a month ago we went to Yokohama. It's a port city about an hour from our apartment. This is the view from the Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Japan.
The wedge-shaped building is a hotel. This year is the 150
th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama port.
They had a little mini-aquarium set up in the tower. It was called Mermaid City.
I have a bit of the wonky eye in this picture. They had a photo booth where you can choose a digital background to pose with, so we were total cheesy tourists and got a picture. The background we picked is basically this one, but also with Mt. Fuji in the background.
Looking out toward Tokyo. In theory, you can see Mt. Fuji on a clear day. It was sunny this day, but I guess too smoggy. Gen kept saying he saw Fuji, but I think he was just trying to make me jealous.
I have been so busy geting a garden going that I was way behind on visiting your blog. I hadn't visited since mid April. It is almost too much to take in allat once. Gorgeous scenery, food (some of which I wouldn't touch with the proverbial ten foot pole), people, etc. The video worked great. Really loud occasion, right?
