I was getting kind of tired of the all-out assault on the senses that is metropolitan Tokyo, so a friend and I headed out to find some greenery today. There are actually some really nice parks here, if you can ignore the noisy trains barreling past every few minutes and the relentless mosquitoes. We just kind of stumbled onto this place and explored from there. It makes me think there are probably a number of these places if you just know where to look. Google Maps, ho!
Tomorrow we're all headed to an elementary school to do some activities with the kids. I'm with the second graders, so I'm thinking I'll play 4 Corners with them. Do they already have that in Japan?

| The last time I saw this much green in one place, I was drinking Melon Soda. |

| Not sure what all of these are trying to convey, but most of them look really unhappy. |
 |
| Where's a Portal Gun when you need it? |
 |
| Holy snap, trees! |
 |
| And wide open spaces? I thought there was a law against that in Tokyo. |
 |
| Super peaceful way to wind down the day. |
 |
| How can I get one of these in my room? |
 |
| We walked by a fitness club on our way through here. The Japanese like their tennis. |
 |
| Baseball is pretty much the biggest thing since sliced squid gonads here. |
