Yes, that's the best video I could find. Seriously. Exploration.
Jim, Sophie and I decided to explore the area where we live (Shinjuku) a few weeks ago by checking out the little park next to where we live. We saw lots of things. There was a beautiful shrine (where some newlyweds were taking pictures!!!)
There was also a little playground with a slide, swings, pigeons, and a cute doxie. These all just happen to be on Sophie's Big Happy Fun Time Checklist. We also met a little 3-yr-old Japanese girl who is taking English classes and spoke with us a bit, and took a picture to fulfill her homework assignment.
And to my enjoyment, a few cherry blossoms decided to pop up a bit early. They smell delicious. I cannot even wait until they are everywhere!
Later, Sophie decided to explore how pretty and colorful her crayons would be on our brand new window sills. Don't worry, I sprung for the good, washable crayons. Exploration.
Last week, a few of the KOOZA spouses decided to take a night off and explore the town. We took the train to Harajuku and had drinks at TGIFridays and then dinner at an authentic Mexican restaurant that the Quiros family knew about. We walked and went down about 1000 stairs, and found it was almost like we were actually in Mexico. The menus were in Spanish and English (I had the chicken tacos and an amazing margarita), and there was a 3-person mariachi band there that was really, really good! It was hard to believe we were still in Tokyo! I had a great time!
