Sunday - Week 3

FREE DAY!!!
We had a much-needed and well-deserved day off. No tours, no nothing! There was a lot of doing nothing for this girl, who really enjoyed her large hotel room and good view. I didn’t even turn on the TV. I had a quick lunch, ordering by picture which got me something I was not expecting at all. Luckily, it was gyoza… little Japanese dumplings. And they were yummy. More vegging in my room before Tom and Jerry (haha) called the rooms and asked who wanted to go to dinner. Tom took us to Yamaha and a traditional musical instrument shop to look for something for my mom before going to an unagi dinner. Good thing Tom was there. There was a ritual to eating the eel. Each time you filled your bowl, you added another ingredient, which changed the flavor of the dish and eel entirely. It was soooo great!! (but I have a pesky little eel bone that is still in my throat, I can feel it!). We karaoke’d at a very nice establishment, and Tom was so generous and treated us all. Late night stroll before bed in a very safe city, and that’s free day Sunday! On to the last week!
