Ameyoko & Ueno Park

T5B: 1) The rain didn't keep us from going out. 2) We found a shop of international chocolates and got some really great stuff from Belgium, Austria, Australia, and even one from the US (Jellybellies). 3) I got a new phone case that is rubber encased so I can't break the screen (as it were) again. 4) I have a new favorite tea: rosehip. It's SOOO good. 5) I see my family in a short NINE DAYS!! (I think I'm going to be able to meet Limor in Osaka and see Kyoto too! :D!!!)

Morning:
- I was kept up late by the jerks next door and then woke up early :/
- I let Jerod sleep in (I am awesome)
- he got ready while I got information from the net
- we finally got out the door and then took the subway to Ueno
- we easily found Ameyoko and checked it out and shopped a little

Notes: Ameyoko was pretty cool! They had TONS of fish, clothing, watches, golf stuff, and jewelry. We found other small shops here and there. Jerod checked out belt buckles, I found a phone case, we got some chocolate and other candies. I wanted to find some SNK stuff but I didn't. :/ Oh well.

Afternoon:
- we grabbed lunch at a noodle bar
- we went to the Tokyo National Museum of History and Science
- we grabbed some food at a Conbini and went back to our hotel

Notes: The museum was AWFUL (for us). All the information was in Japanese, it was $15 to get in (when the web said $6), and the things we wanted to see had really small and lame displays. :/ Dang it Japan, come on!!

Evening:
- we ate some dinner and watched Whose Line
- jacuzzi
- relaxed and watched a movie
- we will wrap up the night by packing after our clothes are done drying (I'm off to Osaka and Jerod is off to get home - he will wrap things up in Cali and then drive to Utah to meet me and hang out with my family next week!)

Notes: By the time I get home... NO MORE SUITCASES EVER AGAIN! Just sayin... XOXO, A
