Sheryn's visit continued

Anna lost her camera on Saturday, and we don't have a cord to hook mine up to the computer, so sadly for now, no more pictures. I am having a fabulous time in Japan though. It is a beautiful country, and the people are so friendly. We spent Saturday at Ueno park in Tokyo. It had several shrines, and beautiful scenery, as well as just an oportunity to observe a lot of people. We also ate in another Japanese restaurant. We sat on the floor in this one, which I am not very good at, but the food was great. We also rode the train, which is quite an experience for a small town girl. Monday, we went to lunch with some of the moms from Cailey and Bryant's yochien walking group. They are starting an English class, so I was their practice. They couldn't believe that I have five kids and five cars, but the thing they were most amazed by was our three horses. I guess my lifestyle is as foreign to them as theirs is to me. Today we went to Kamakura. What a beautiful place! We started in a bamboo forest, saw several temples and shrines and some beautiful gardens. I love the buildings, but it is just the whole landscape that impresses me most. The hills just covered with trees, vines and flowers. I hope I will be able to remember it, because I don't think any of my pictures do it justice. This has been a wonderful experience!
