THE count dowwwwwn....!

*Summer day in SANGENJYAYA - visiting my second brother. =)

the shrine(Jinjya...is that a temple or a shrine?)well, loved the serene atmosphere....

he is so rad.

it is the morning of my departure back to my hometown, PV....feeling good and a bit nervous. but this is the GOOD kind of nervousness. honestly in about 3 hours, the taxi is coming to pick us up.

did a brisk morning walk but its still hot....when is autumn season coming!? cant wait for the falling leaves. =)

just some bit of updates.
*you'd have to sorta tilt your head to see this lovely "mom's home cooking" style lunch plate i got at this lil Japanese delicacy shop. I went on a walk with my old friend, Suke-san and i was actually looking for a lil WARABI-MOCHI shop. They were serving lunch and its like the menu is set by the owner and just brings you all the stuff. I told her i dont eat meat and she had this amazing broiled white fish (tasted like Tilapia? ill check the English name later for MA-DAI) and lil salad plates. it was healthy and tasty! and dont be surprised...it was only 750yen! ($7) the volume of the food was just too much but still, good amount of protein and veggies - good times.

*Walking on the trails along side the SUMIDA-river with my friend from old work, Yamada-san who by the way is really awesome.
im still very surprised that shes never been to the US because she just feels like "one of us". she has that aura in her, she is very "americanized". but thats prolly why we get along and she can put up with me. heh heh. i really do appreciate the meeting we've had from our old job, because even though it was only for a short while that we were sitting next to one another at our office, we are still keeping in touch. She knows all the nice walking routes and THANK GOODESS she LOVES COFFEE/CAFES.....!!!! =D

-walked over to ASAKUSA area and found this "monjya croquette" shop FINALLY...there it is, since we were gonna find a cute cafe for lunch, we split one. interesting food. アイスクリームの方がよかったかもね。next time.
- PELICAN bakery: known ONLY for their white bread loaves and dinner rolls, but well-known popluar bakery thats been around for ages. She wanted to finally get one, so it was great we found it!
- Lunch at a cute-ass cafe, itonowa: egg & cheese curry w/ brown rice. i did the "Japan thing" = eating curry in the summer time. but this one was really mild and tasty...very homemade. type of food that makes your heart warm cuz you can see the people that made the food....very warm cafe owner.=)

gotta pack my laptop away.

long hours of movies on the plane is one thing i love about traveling.
