Day 3 in Tokyo - FUN DAY!!

It was so hard to narrow my pictures down from this morning's excursion to Digital Labs Borderless ! I can't wait to go back and see their other installation called Planets - we just ran out of time, trying to fit everything in! Loved this place - the rooms are constantly changing - so you don't even have to move and with in minutes your immersed in another world! So cool !! loved it!!

After 2.75 hours in Borderless we dashed over to our Sumo lunch show. This was highly recommended by my girlfriend Meagan, who was recently there, and I am so glad she told us  to do!! Again tons of Fun, the lunch was super yummy and you could have as much as you wanted, I had seconds !! Bosco got picked to be one of 8 competitors to take on the wrestlers - he was pumped!! Sadly he didn't win his match, but gave it an enthusiastic try!

After Sumo we went for a walk in the area near Senso - Ji Temple and ran into Theresa, Riley & Gavin. They taught us how to do our fortunes at the Temple; and Riley was looking to upgrade his from Bad to Good. You tie Bad fortunes to wire racks so they blow away!

Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.

More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!

MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
