Fun in the Sun...Osaka, Japan

 
Video of insects in Japan that make a lot of noise...we would hear them every morning! They were in the trees and we saw a few of them as they flew around in the branches. 

Ferris wheel ride near the ocean


Duplicate of the Santa Maria only smaller

The boat took us around the harbor so you could see stuff like Universal Studios

This is a fountain in the underground malls

We rode another ferris wheel in the evening to see the lights

Our last morning in Osaka...we saw these scooters zooming around town.

This is the dollar store.  They are everywhere.

We didn't see this much...a garden in someone's front entrance.

Not far from our apartment was the Chinese Embassy and each corner had security

Our bedroom in our apartment

Last meal...a street cafe. 

Cabbage, flour mixture, bacon and fish flakes with sauce
It makes me sad coming to the end of our trip ...it was such an adventure.  It was fun to be in a big city in a foreign country and to just be in such a different place.  There is no place like home but you don't know that until you go somewhere else.  I was so happy to get back to my own bed and a frig full of veggies.  I am so glad that I could spend time with my family and making memories that we will not quickly forget.  Good-bye Hong Kong and Japan.  You were hot and amazing!
