Yummmm

Borscht in Japan...I have had enough sushi for a while, so I went to eat with some friends at a restaurant called "Belarus Home Cooking Minsk."  I had borsch (which is how they spelled it),a very tasty soup, and beef stroganoff.  I also had some fresh berry juice to drink.

Tokyo Skyline

I went to the Tokyo Tower last night and took some nice pictures.  It was 250 meters off the ground!  The view from the Tower was breathtaking, as you can see.

Tokyo tower

I spent a good bit of the morning walking around the Roppongi area of Tokyo.  It looks a bit like Time Square in New York.  One of the landmarks in the area is Tokyo Tower.  I also managed to find some familiar names among the shops.  One of my favorite things about Tokyo is that there are vending machines everywhere you look!  If you are thirsty, you can find something cold to drink.  My favorite is called "Aquarius" which is a grapefruit flavored water.  You can click on any of the images below to see a larger picture.

Destination Tokyo...next Wednesday

It is hard to believe, but I leave for Tokyo next Wednesday.  I am looking forward to seeing new prospective families in Tokyo and the cities beyond.
