Tokyo...Fridgid...Ocean

Tokyo Sea...meh, more like Tokyo frigid ocean, swirling with winds and young Japanese girls.  Before we get to that though, lets step it back to yesterday.

For some odd reason I was getting a 505 error and was unable to access the blogger sight, so I decided to skip the fight and move onto sleeping.

That morning we woke up to allow Randi and Melissa to return to Harajuku to complete the tour of shops along with visiting the four story "Forever 21" store.  Here is my bit of advice to you all - if you're a woman, make sure you don't miss it - if you're a man, make sure to do anything you can to avoid it.  It's basically one giant ball of lace, bows, and straw hats (they are popular over here these days).

Once we were able to pull the ladies away from the clothing stores we made our way to far less traveled place for the common tourist; Nakano Broadway.  Put simply, I'm not sure I've ever been to a cooler place in my entire life.  Jam-packed into the four floors of the broadway are a plethora of shops to suit your every wish.

503 Error

Just so everybody knows, I had a 503 error happen all last night and wasn't able to access the blogger website to make a post.  We have to leave for Tokyo DisneySea here in a minute, so I'll make a double post tonight.

And then God said, "Let there be snow!"

"Hello, I am a cute little deers and I would like some of your nummy foods."  I'm sure that what this guy would have said if he wasn't so busy biting at Melissa's legs.  We'll get to them later though.

Today we woke up bright and early to catch the 5:30 local train to Shinagawa, which would allow us to transfer onto the Shinkansen Hikari (bullet train) to Kyoto.  The ride was approximately 3 1/2 hours long, with intermittent stops along the way.

At first I would have assumed today to be a great weather day.  Cruising along at 167 mph, the warm sun shone through bright enough to warrant taking your jacket off, while a mist steadily lifted from the mountainside.  Sadly, Mt. Fuji was covered by distant clouds - but there shall be other days.

For the most part the four of us slept on-and-off until we arrived at Kyoto station, where we would then transfer on towards Nara.  At the station I bought the most wonderful chocolate and almond bread twist.  If there was one thing the Japanese are good at it's pastries.  Well, pastries and putting cute faces on inanimate objects.
