Tour to Sankeien Gardens and Chinatown





Today we went on another tour provided by the Yokosuka Military Base. We continue to be so impressed with the military's ability to plan tours for the military personnel and their guests.

We went to the Sankeien Gardens in Yokahama today. The buildings were the most impressive. The trees looked like really big bonsai trees. The fall colors have not yet arrived.

We then went to Chinatown in Yokohama. It is the largest Chinatown in Japan and one of the largest in the world. Mostly it was a typical Chinatown except that we had lunch at a Chinese food go-around. We picked up the food we wanted as it rolled past.

Our tour also included a tour of the Kiren Beer Factory. The tour included free beer. Patricia and Danielle had juice.

hello and what fun to hear from you in Japan. Johna took me to a sushi bar recently, so I knew what you were talking about at the resturant. The pictures are great. Matt told me he looked at them. He was impressed with the toilets. Keep having fun. Love you all.

We are enjoying your daily stories, Jan. It makes me feel like I'm reading Conde Nast; you're doing such a good job with making it really interesting. It sounds like you're having a memorable time. Can't wait to see you on our cruise trip, in less than a week! Maija and Al
