Today was the bullet train experience. We got up at 4:00 am and took the tour bus to the bullet train station in Tokyo. Our train was scheduled at 8:13 and it pulled in front of us at exactly 8:13 and took off exactly one minute later. The train travels at 210 K per hour. We were on the train only 55 minutes but in that time we traveled into Central Japan. We picked up another tour bus and visited a famous Japanese castle,(Kakegawa Castle). It was incredibly beautiful.
When we left there we stopped for lunch. Eating Japanese is becoming a struggle. We all had a bowl of soup with some tofu in it, a piece of ham (we think), and some other brown stuff which I thought was chicken (but we decided it wasn't chicken.) We ate the noodles and the fried rice.
After that we went to a fish market. It had every conceivable kind of fish BUT no fish market can compare to Pike's Place.
It was a long day. We arrived back on base at 8:30.
