Day 2 in Tokyo - Today was much more relaxed and focused on Contemporary Japan!

You know I am always seeking out the coolest architecture wherever we go and below were some of my favorites.

We explored our favorite place to say TAKESHITA STREET. Lots of oddities to see.

Had a yummy Sushi lunch, where I discovered a new favorite soft drink Yuzo ( lemon - lime flavor).

For a special treat we went to a fancy dinner at MoonFlower. The restaurant only takes 8 diners a night and the whole meal is presented as an art interactive art piece. Nine course - seven were amazing! Saga the top cut of Waga Beef melted in your mouth. I never knew beef could taste so good!!!!

I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!

This time the tde ws coming in quickly and alot of the island was already covered by water but that didn't dampen our party! We had a cooler of beer this time too! We also have become feriendly with the 2 families that were there sharing with us.
