Sky High

Yesterday we took a day trip into Tokyo intending to go to the Studio Ghibli museum (the animation studio that made My Neighbor Totoro) but, not surprisingly, we got behind and didn't make it in time.  So we'll try that again another day.

We ended up wandering around the city not doing much other than eating Mexican food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts.  We did go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building hoping to see Fuji-san (aka Mt. Fuji) since it was an exceptionally clear day.  It turned out to be too hazy to the southwest, but the open-to-the-public observatory at the top of the TMGB was good to know about if we ever want to try again.  TMGB was the tallest building in the city (45 floors) until 2006 and is so popular with tourists that there is a gift shop and cafe in the observatory.
