Tokyo!

For the second half of spring break, Sarah and I took Kathy and Lauren (two new sweet Christian ALTs) on a tour of Tokyo.  The biggest highlight was staying in a Japanese-style capsule hotel.  It was so fun (though not particularly comfortable!)  Anyway, below are some random photos (from Sarah's camera) of the trip...
The only picture of the four of us -- unfortunately I'm squinting

The blooming of this cherry blossom tree at the Yasukuni Shrine indicates the official beginning of the season
 
 

A slightly more open tree!

Oh... how I LOVE sakura


"The hills are alive with the sound of music....."  -- yes, the blonde got stared at when she started singing
Tokyo's Liberty Bell --- an exact replica

I figured out how to use my nifty GPS on my cellphone and successfully led us to an amazing burger place
