Tokyo ~ Japan Day 1

We are such rebels ~ taking a picture of a do not take a picture sign.
The giant ferris wheel we rode - 345 feet tall.
Cute school girls waiting in the ferris wheel line.
A nice air conditioned monorail ride.
Interesting architecture near our hotel.
Karate poses in the hotel supplied kimonos

We survived our flight and bus ride and arrived at the Westin Tokyo on Thursday evening. Friday morning arrived early ~ about 4:30 am. We had worked out, eaten breakfast, and were ready for the day by 8:30. We toured around the hotel until Bill was done with work. Then we went to Daiba, a resort town that is home to Toyota town, a giant ferris wheel, and a massive arcade. Our adventure back to the hotel was a very authentic Japanese subway experience ~ imagine no personal space + body odor.
Our favorite engrish of the day ~ smoking is prhibited.
