We were too worn out to post last night, but I’m up early, due to having forgotten to put the HDCam’s battery on the charger last night, and doing the business.
We were off to a slow start in the morning, but then headed off to Isezaki-cho (since there is UniQlo) to buy Yukatas for Rika and Amelie, and a Jinbei for me… to wear at the fireworks festival at night (video below).
Sound of the Semi:
After Jiji and Baba went home, 3 of us went to Motomachi to just to browse around. We checked out Union, which is supposed to be an American style grocery store. Don’t believe it. It is laid out like one, but the contents, not so much. They did have a very nice wine selection (for a grocery store), complete with a walk-in cellar for the nicer stuff. And they had nice stuff. We couldn’t resist buying a Margeaux at a very good price.
Motomachi was fun… we took a picture in a BIG red chair in front of Daniel Furniture Store and were able to drink beer walking down the street… legal in Japan!
When we got back Amelie had a chance to wear out her JiJi (grandfather) – she loves to use him like a toy doll.
The fireworks at Minato Mirai were great, although we missed some because we were late. Plus, we didn’t get to record as much as we’d have liked because our HDCam’s battery died. Oh well, here’s the day’s images:
