Saturday June 20th

Went to three different cities in one day. Started with breakfast at the hotel. After getting a quick spot of coffee from Starbucks, it was onto the train. Timed it just right the limited express was just pulling up as we got to the platform. After the sixth stop we got off the train, but quickly realized that it was going to the place that we needed to be at. The line turns into a subway line once it reaches Shinagawa. We arrived at Asakusa station and went for a nice walk to the shops around the temple. One of my coworkers was looking for shoes for his family. Somehow I managed to remember exactly where the store was located, even after a year.

After we picked up the shoes it was back on the trains. At the station we had a volunteer help us to buy the right tickets. It just confirmed what I was planning, so at least that was good. We went from Asakusa and transferred to the Hibiya line at Ginza. Finally we arrived at Roppongi. After finding the store and buying a keychain it was time to find some grub for lunch. We decided to eat that California Pizza Kitchen. It was back onto the train, switch and the get off at Kawasaki.

Lunch was good, but we still had one stop left on our journey. So we hopped back on the train and went to Costco. It was a mad house, but interesting to visit. After picking up some cookies for the BBQ it was back to Yokosuka.

After a quick stop at the hotel it was onto the BBQ. The BBQ was a mix of Japanese and Americans who I work with. The spread was awesome. And it was great to meet the families of the people that I work with. Although I think I communicated best with the two year old. After eating more than my fill it was back to the hotel and more Netflix.
