Rain rain go away...

---

It's been raining all day, the drizzly, miserable, warm kind of rain. This morning we went to the Ghibli Museum (where Totoro lives). Sadly they didn't allow photographs inside...it was sooo cool!! We got to see a short film and seet all these neat sketches and figurines. The entire building was built like a fantasy kid's house, with little doors here and there and winding staircases and miniature toilets for the children. They also had a claymation exhibit where they had life-size Wallace and Gromit scenes and the actual set they used during the movie. Since it was a rainy Sunday morning, the place was absolutely packed. We could hardly move 5 feet without bumping into people.

By the time we left and got back to Tokyo station it was already 2 pm. So we did some shopping and had a late lunch. We should've known better when everyone around us wasn't eating. The food was allright, but I felt pretty queasy afterwards.

We really didn't do much other than that today. The rain put a damper on things as it's not very fun trying to wade through throngs of people, especially when the ground's slippery and everyone's got a lethally sharp umbrella pointed at your eye. Tommorow we fly back in the evening, our plane leaves at 7 p.m. We'll be landing in LAX around 7 p.m. Monday night. Some closing thoughts to come as we complete our great adventure. 😊
