So my Girlfriend, Annie, made it up from Okinawa last Saturday. Tater and I drove up to Yokota to pick her up and since, we've been running all around the Kanto Plain.
Yesterday, we went to Kamakura to see the temples and Big Buddha down there. Annie needed some new pictures, and I think we got some really nice ones. We ended up walking 7 miles and were all beat last night.
Monday we went to Yokohama and shopped all around Landmark Tower and Queen's Plaza. She got new pictures of the Giant Ferris wheel and the really old ship (forget the name...).
Sunday was about 90 degrees, so we tried to make it a relax day and go to the pool, but after we got all ready and lotioned-up and headed out, we turned the corner from my street and ran headlong into the nastiest, blackest, scariest cloud we'd ever seen. But ever the optimist, despite the meager sprinkles on the windshield, we forged on and decided to eat some lunch first at Taco Bell. 'Cause SURELY that nasty black cloud wasn't coming our way... While in the Food Court, the sprinkles turned to torrents...cold torrents, which we had to sprint through to get back to the car. Then the torrents turned into pea-sized hail, which then turned into marble-sized hail by the time we got home. And the temperature was 69 degrees.
Two hours later, the sun came out, the temperature rose, and people were headed back to the pool. But not us. We had whipped up a batch of Margaritas and started cooking dinner, and heading out to the pool just didn't seem prudent any more. Regardless, we had fun anyway. Noodle, not-so-much, since she didn't have the added boost of a Margarita...
