Tokyo May 4th









Tokyo was an amazing city. It was a holiday week so everyone was out celebrating their day off. It made for streets that were probably even busier than usual.
Our "mission" was to find the Harley Davidson shop in Shibuya. I'm happy to say we succeeded! When we got out of the train station it looked pictures of Times Square in New York. People every where and huge digital bill boards covered the sides of the buildings. One incredible thing is Shibuya is only one small area of this gigantic city. It sure makes all our cities seem small!
When we got back to Ginza they'd closed off several blocks of the city and it was wall to wall people. I have to admit I found it rather over whelming.

These fire boats welcomed us to the harbour. For the holiday they shot pink and blue water out of their cannons. This picture is from the morning when they hadn't found their colors yet!
