We had a big week of shopping. We went to Kitchen Town where you can find ANYTHING you want for your kitchen, commercial or domestic. That was just one of the 100 shops we hit in the past week. So, we decided we needed to be "tourists" for a day. On Saturday, we went to Odawara Castle. It was originally built in the 15th century but was restored in the 1960's. It was used by feudal lords to keep watch for war attacks, but now serves as a museum with pieces of the original building construction, samurai uniforms, swords, ninja suits, clothing trunks and many other artifacts. I wish I could have taken pictures of those things, but there were guards everywhere and signs showing NO CAMERA...so, I thought maybe I shouldn't try to sneak a picture this time. Stay tuned...we only have 5 more weeks left and you never know what we may get into!

Oh man that stinks you couldn't take pictures, the outside was beautiful though. Woohoo 5 weeks! Is your swimsuit packed!?
So has the time flown?
Wow - where was this castle? Hard to believe only 5 more weeks. I know Avery must sense the excitement you are feeling knowing you will soon come home. Keep the pics and info coming. WE LOVE THIS BLOG!!!
Sounds like a fun week end. Wish you could have snuck me out one of those clothing trunks from the castle, I bet they were pretty. I'm with Betty Ann about this blog, we may go into withdrawal when y'all return. XOXOXO
Speaking of the blog, if you do figure out how to transfer it to a scrapbook printing, I want a copy! It's been an amazing adventure for us here too! Only 5 more weeks of site-seeing. Get it all in...and don't stop the blog once you get to Hawaii...I want to see pictures there too!
