What Have We Wrought ?
Fifty-three years ago to the day, Heidi and Lee were married at Christ Church in Bangkok by the Reverend John Ironsides. It really took! We came to Japan on our honeymoon, and now we find ourselves here yet again - this time with a son, daughter-in-law, great family friend, and three grandchildren in tow. Quite amazing, especially when considering there are still another eight relations back home in the United States!
The run up to our three nights in Tokyo enabled the grandparents to let the “youngsters” go off on their own. They shopped along Takeshita-dori, stopped in at a cat cafe, subwayed out to Nakano Broadway for a bit of roller bar sushi and to take in all the local anime, manga and video game stores in the area.
Heidi and Lee, meanwhile, sauntered down Kagurazaka, an upscale tree-lined street, stopping for lunch at Paul, the city’s best French bakery. The neighborhood also houses narrow alleyways lined with exclusive restaurants, often fronted by exquisite small entry gardens. But nearby, contemporary pop culture, as always, holds sway just as it does all around the world these days.
The family gathered for a celebratory dinner on the Ginza at the Ginza Six mall before heading out for some last minute evening browsing at the Uniqlo across the street, an apt conclusion to one great anniversary celebration!
