Tokyo Japan - An interesting week continues































The police haven't gone anywhere - and the G7 meeting is far from Tokyo.  But better safe and ready.
The full week continued.
Ended up in many new spots this trip - many with great views and food.
Every trip is a new adventure.

Tokyo Japan - An interesting week begins









Wow - G7 coming to Japan, not Tokyo, and there are police everywhere in Tokyo.  They can almost reach out and touch each other they are so thick in the neighborhood where I usually stay.  The hotel has the Diet in one direction and is surrounded by embassy's in every other direction - USA just around the corner.
A full week of meetings ahead......

Tokyo Japan - Lovely Evening




I arrived today and it was a beautiful Sunday.
Settled in to catch a great sunset over Tokyo from the room - and what a huge and sprawling place it is.

Saint Paul MN - Long Graduation. The day after






Long had to pack and move out of his apartment so we hit Saint Paul and took in some of the sights.
Then off for a boat ride north of Stillwater followed by some Costco shopping and taking on the Mall of America.  Closed before Lily made it on the rides.
