Ken Comes to Town

Today we met up with Ken and his girlfriend, Marguerite:



We met up in Shinjuku, so we went over to the Takashimaya Times Square building for Chinese food. The restaurant had a beautiful view (being on the 13th floor) of the city as the sun was going down. After that we went over to the Starbucks (that's the one good thing about Starbucks: it is about the only place in Tokyo that is absolutely non-smoking inside) and composed a digital message for Mike and Rebecca's wedding (hope that wasn't supposed to be kept secret). We were going to walk around some more but poor Toby had a recurrence of his flu-like sickness so we headed home. We did have a lovely evening though (and thanks to Ken for the Aveno and Tylenol)! :D:D:D

I took that pic with the digital camera. I was in a hurry and didn't stop to think about the backlighting. Note to all thinking of purchasing digital cameras: you need photoshop too!!! If I had adjusted the settings I think it would have been better, but I was in auto-mode, unfortunately. Still, I think it's not that bad, and with a little fixing up in photoshop the purple fringing is fixed. :)
