Japan: Our Last Day!

We don't have much to report for this post because other than a nice walk through Shinjuku Gyoen Garden and some last-minute gift shopping we didn't do a whole lot.  We had an excellent lunch of dim sum and tried soup dumplings for the first time.  Our flight was at 7 pm so we were able to keep a mostly leisurely pace before it was time to head to the airport.  Once we were on the plane back to LAX we charted the rest of our travel time by what meals we were eating.  Since today was Thursday and we were chasing the sun back around the earth:

• Morning breakfast in Tokyo
• Lunch in downtown Tokyo
• Dinner on the plane to LAX
• Second Lunch on the plane to LAX
• Landed at about 1 pm local time
• Second Dinner at LAX
• Red eye flight back to Maryland
• Landed at 5 am on Friday

Wow!  As you can imagine we suffered from quite a lot of jet lag when we returned.  It took us about a week to recover.  Thanks for reading, I'll be adding a few post-trip entries in this summer later.

Last night we viewed Shinjuku from the sky, today we're on the ground.

The garden here is so large you forget that you're in a huge city for just a little bit.

The tall pointy building is Docomo Tower, 4th tallest in the city
