Pottery and Boutiques
Chris and I went to Tokyo to see Kaolyn's private pottery exhibit today. She has been making pottery for over 5 years.
After spending time at the pottery exhibit, we walked around to explore the area since we had never been to that particular Tokyo area before. --There are 100's of train-stops just within Tokyo--we haven't even scratched the surface of everything there is to see in Tokyo.
another cute cafe - local lunch spot
You can find thousands of these types of boutique stores in Japan--no exaggeration--1000s. For those who have money for boutique-priced clothing and love shopping, this must be one form of heaven. It seems you can get off at almost any train-stop within Yokohama or Tokyo and find these boutiques and cute cafes & restaurants. Some are hidden between apartment houses and down narrow alleyways--making looking for them all the more fun.

Puzzle Pieces
We bought a puzzle this weekend--just under 1000 pieces. It's been so long since either of us have worked on a puzzle so we thought it would be kinda fun to have and do a little at a time. Right now it's on our coffee table all spread out.
what the finished puzzle will look like

Karaoke 10-11
Saturday night we went for food and karaoke with a friend of mine from pottery and her husband. It was her birthday, so we brought cake too. We had a really good time--this was our first time going out as couples together.
土曜の夜は料理とカラオケの陶器と彼女の夫から私の友達と一緒に行きました。彼女の誕生日なので、ケーキを持っていた。私たちは本当に楽しい時間をしていた-これは私たちの最初の夫との時間を一緒に私たちも外に出ようとした。 (I was using google translator, but the translation might not be correct.)

Tennis Tournament
Chris and I went with friends to a tennis tournament today in Tokyo. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. We really enjoyed it--especially suspenseful moments when they were rallying for a long time.
