I am craving for ice cream now! Really, and some coffee too…I don’t know in which order I want them now

If you are planning a visit nows the time. We are off to Tokyo in two weeks or so. Plus we are totally hitting up monkey park before then. This time armed with a video camera.

I’m with you there. I think you and I should plan a trip to Kyoto. I’m just not too sure about all those steps!!!

The museum looked great. I love pre-columbian art. I would so rather see old art than new art, but that’s just me. Glad you had an 80’s kind of day. You need one when it has been so chilly. It POURED here yesterday most of the day, but it was steamy as it rained. It was actually kind of pretty.
Glad that you guys are making such good progress on the book. Kudos to you both.
Love and miss you,
Mom

I just got back from our day with Kayo. She politely, yet ardently declined for an interview, or to appear on camera for numerous reasons. Very very disheartening, seeing that she seemed like our best bet for a starting. It’s funny to see those powerlines, as they crisscross every substreet and alley in Kyoto. The only place they haven’t yet infected seems to be the temples, and parks.

Gorgeous pictures, Jen. What’s the round building? You have a flair with both words and images. You didn’t get it from me. Remember all those pictures of the bottom of the camera case?
I can’t wait to see Argentina.
Hugs,
Mom

Look at what all of the Lancaster County foods will do to you. And they’re fresh, natural, etc. etc.
Ooohhhh, look out - the corn is almost ready. Even Niles didn’t care for the corn last night. Maybe there wasn’t enough butter on it, tho.
Happy eating from Pa Dutch Country.

We don’t trust the colonel, just so you know. It’s a lot of MCdonalds. Which coincidentally is fresher than and much tastier than our Mcdonalds… at least in terms of being freshly prepared preprocessed garbage! Seriously though, we have been mix and matching. The real treat, for me is getting all sorts of different drinks, most of them at least containing fruit juice! There is something called Qoo that has several fruit flavors that are all tasty! One is like white grapes mixed with sprite. THat and NAtchan. I think they are both semi soda’s though. Not really sure.
It is 3 bucks for two ears of corn. Fresh food can be real expensive. Especially certain fruits. There are a lot of prepared meals with fresh ingredients, though.
We found a fat boys the other day. It looked like the portions were really tiny. In our defense we have been eating in quite a bit and picking up erratic meals. I’m not really sure how japan ranks on the whole category.
The real shock is walking down the frozen food section and not finding a single meal to microwave. I’m jealous and confused simultaneously. We don’t really know how to cook a lot over here, a cross between language barriers and supplies. Anyhow, if you’ve got questions, i might have answers.
