Just a quickie today. Had a lovely time yesterday on a full-day bus/boat Tokyo tour. It included a number of local attractions--the Meji shrine, for one, A.D. 649--and a great lunch in the twelth floor restaurant of a beautiful hotel next to the river. Took lots of pictures, of course.
Today, we went to the pool. It's a very large, indoor (of course) one with lanes for lap swimming and free-form. It's heated, of course, and also has a sauna, two hot tubs (one warm, the other warmer), automatic showers, clean and spacious lockers, and other amenaties. It was great and interestingly, right across the street is a incinerator. It's completely encosed by a concrete building, so you would never guess what it is, but it provides the heat for the whole large pool complex. Ingenous.
No time for more now.
NOTE: Took my BP at the pool: 122/68.

I haven't been leaving comments on these, but I've certainly been enjoying them. Thanks! And please continue giving us this your-eye-view of things Japanese.
