Serenity Rising

Ahhhhh... I had an absolutely fantastic day out all day today. The weather was warm and sunny so I just wore a t-shirt under my army jacket which was still too warm for most of the day.

First I went to Shibuya. Then I went to "Nikotama" and had lunch with a highball. After that it was back to Shibuya for coffee in Yoyogi park followed by a trip to the Ueno area where I visited one of the destinations on my "Serenity List".

After taking video the next stop was to a yakiniku restaurant for two icy cold draft beer and some delicious yakiniku (that was so fresh one could eat it uncooked - beef and pork. I did enjoy the yukke which is raw ground steak you mix with onions and a raw egg. Yum!)

Once that was done I searched for the straightest route home which involves two trains of seven and 17 minutes each.

I'm on my way home now.

The Kyu Iwasaki-tei gardens is a huge mansion built in 1896. Gorgeous! And the garden was also wonderful. At JPY400 to enter and see the luxury of the founder of the Mitsubishi conglomerate it was well worth the effort.

I am on my way home now to enjoy coffee a shower and the rest of the evening off. I'll be home soon.

Thank you Universe for this gorgeous weather and the chance to begin creating my "Serenity Collection" of videos.

I love you!

    Hey, Ms warm weather wear!

    We're talking cold weather layering here...

    So you just enjoy your warm AZ sunshine, while we in the winter climes adjust to this changing season.

    Somehow i don't theink the words VS and gotch were ever meant to be used together.... ever... LOL!

    Have a great workout, Sweety.
    Hope you get to meet Connor too!

    VS = Very Special? Vidal Sassoon? Ah! Victoria!

    I'm not wearing any gotch at the moment... (sleeping directly under those amazing Japanese blankets feels pretty darn good as I am learning). Yep. Time to get cooking! Off to Kobuchizawa today.

    I consider myself a... (I used to say, "problem solver" but now prefer the more positive way of describing it...) solution seeker!

    Wow its beautiful its surprising to see such a European styled home in the middle of Tokyo!

    I find serenity in trees and the smells of earth as well..... its peaceful and reminds me of home. They don't have that kind of smell here in AZ... not at all!

    P.S. wearing fuzzy pink valour sweat suit, and slippers.... with the usual underneath accompaniments! LOL
