Photos and thoughts on my travels

Tokyo is really really big

Scramble crossing
Sky tree from below
Fuji Television building and rainbow bridge
And it is on the Sumida River

We have spent most of our days outside, it is blissfully sunny most of the time even though it is cold.

Senso-ji is very near our lodging.
And pretty impressive
Then we saw a really weird boat
And went to Shinjuku Gyoen National garden
Inside of previous building
It’s all so beautifully sculpted and maintained
Even though it’s right in the city.
I haven’t spent much time in Central Park , but it reminds me of it.
There’s an amazing botanical garden,
And they have a water fall. 🙂
They actually had enough airflow to not smell musty despite being warm and humid.
And flowers in winter
Then more walking in Yoyogi Park. I can’t get over the yellow crunchy Ginko leaves.
He said he had 17 dogs that day!
Then back into the big city.

A beautiful couple days overall.

    Columbus doesn’t even have a million!   It must be a bit of a culture shock…   Love,  Marilee

      Hi Marilee! Definitely! There is just enough familiar in our environments to make the brain look for the expected…and not find it.

    So many interesting pics. Love all the plant life! Especially the fuzzy pink catkin things! And the ginkgo leaves. The huge busy city crosswalk and the well-maintained landscaping look just like when I was there. Aren’t the temples amazing? Rad boat!
