spontaneous adventure

Late last week I discovered that I had no classes this week through thursday, so I suddenly decided I'd like to take a trip somewhere in Japan. Satoko had to go to Tokyo on Wednesday for work, so she came along too.

Here is the entire set of photos I've made public on Flickr.

First, we visited her family's hometown in Aichi, near Nagoya. We went to a museum, visited friends, ate good food, and played with some dogs.

This is me finally making peace with the family dog, Chibi:



Here is a pic of me with the family:



On Wednesday we returned to Tokyo Disneyland. Originally we planned to go to its sister resort, Tokyo DisneySea, but after hearing Satoko's friend rave about the Halloween theme, we decided to go to Land and save Sea for another day. It was fairly cool. The Haunted Mansion had been redone with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. Mostly I was happy to go to a lot of the rides that we had been to busy to go to the last time we went to disneyland.
