Thursday, March 31st: Meeting Friends
We sent our next box home. Then did some last minute window shopping and packed out for Osaka. We got into the room in the Swissotel. We loafed around the room for a while and I got bored. I went across the way to a 5 story shopping center. They have everything - except food. This place has an art gallery where you can buy original netsuke, of course the prices match. This hotel, like the last couple we've stayed at is designed for the wedding. There are boutiques for wedding dresses, formal kimono, wedding gift shopping, and much much more. Makes me want to have a wedding all over again with all the trimmings.
We met Jeff and Dan at the train station close to the hotel. They seemed relieved to see us. Jonathan was a zombie at first - overwhelmed by it all. We got them into the hotel and up to their room and Jonathan woke up some and began bouncing off Poppa and Dadda and the bed and the walls and..... well you get the idea. We left them for a few to get settled and cleaned up and then we went out to the Hard Rock Cafe Osaka. Not too shabby for Americana in Japan.
