29th anniversary weekend in Tokyo

We were excited to be able to get reservation at the Sanno Military Hotel in downtown Tokyo for our 29th anniversary.  (Thank you Richard Batimana aka Batman.)

The trip to Tokyo from Atsugi NAF includes 3 different transfer from trains to subways and a mile walk altogether. (It took 90 minutes) We spent the first evening in Roppongi so that we could try another Pho restaurant.  The waitress spoke Vietnamese so it was fun to practice speaking again.  Later that night, we took a bus to Shibuya to see the people crossing.  Greg was in shock to say the least.  We both did laugh at the onslaught of people.  This coupled with it being Halloween weekend made for a spectacular experience.

Saturday morning we walked from the hotel (1/2 mile) to the Tokyo Temple.  This has been our tradition for the last 29 years and we are so grateful that we were able to go again.  

Across the street from the Tokyo Temple is a most wonderful park.  Pictures really do not capture its beauty.

We spent the rest of Saturday enjoying the hotel pool, sauna, and gym.  We hope to be able to stay there again.
