Rainy day in Tokyo

Japanese breakfast, breakfast of champions!

We had one day of bad weather in Tokyo, it poured!
The Meiji Shrine...

At the shrines they sell tablets that you can write your wishes on the back & then hang up to be blessed. At the end of the year they are burned in hopes that the wishes comes true.

We went on a long river cruise up the Sumida river which happened to drop us off near the Asahi headquarters. We ran away from the group & went to the beer hall on the 22 floor & took in the city views. The Golden building is supposed to be represent a beer glass & the building to the right is shaped like a beer mug with an Asahi flame on it.
