Family Visit, part 1

My family's here this week for a quick visit, and I am so excited to see them! Here are a few pics of what we've been up to for the last couple days:

























Photos:

• Top left: Asakusa Kannon-do Temple, right before the lightning storm.
• Top right: painting on the ceiling of the temple
• Middle left: Torii outside Meiji Shrine in Yoyogi Park. You can see my parents at the base of one of the posts.
• Middle right: even though we'd had lightning and thunder earlier in the morning, the sun came out for a while in the afternoon while we were at Meiji Shrine.
• Bottom left: We went to Tokyo DisneySea today and arrived just in time to see the parade for the Spring Carnival. Nice stilts...
• Bottom right: no smoking sign outside one of the "Little Mermaid"-themed roller coasters.
