Sensoji Temple, Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan

L, here. I tried to post this yesterday, but the computer ate my entry. Bummer.We started the day in conference with the concierge. We were having trouble deciding what to do. She gave us many booklets, pamphlets and maps and told us about a water taxi between here (Hinode Pier) and Asakusa, one of our desired explorations. She advised us to take the subway one direction and water bus the other. Plans established, it was off to find breakfast.

At her advice we went to a small cafe in the lobby of an adjacent building. I'm certain what we ordered was intended as dessert fare, especially when it arrived topped with a scoop of ice cream. But really, how different is crepes with warm berries, pears and almonds, from our own pancakes and syrup at home. Anyway it was delicious. Took the subway up to Asakusa, and here's what we found. The picture, taken by K is of the outdoor shopping street that started at the exit from the subway and led all the way to the temple and shrines. I'm pretty sure that's the back of my head in the lower left corner of the picture. More later. Time for breakfast and new adventures.
