We saw TONS of fresh fish and the auctions going on with the merchants.
By the time we wrapped up there it was still really early - 6:45am - so we were able to see a nice little Japan sunrise. 
Then, we stumbled on a cool temple that had a worship ceremony at 7am complete with monks, chanting, etc.
After that it was on to Starbucks - shocker - and then we hopped back on the Subway and headed to Ueno. We wandered around the park there for a while (it's where all the Cherry Blossoms are ... not in full bloom yet but some of the trees had the blossoms starting to open), saw a temple and then got back on the subway.We headed to Asakusa where there was another shrine. Th
ere was also a really cool strip of shops leading up to the shrine with just about everything Japanese you could ever want.We hung around there for a while and then headed back towards our hotel - Shinjuku - and sat down for some sushi and sashimi. Carlos, Kate, and Maria went back to play in the arcade while I decided that a nap would be my preferred use of the time.
Around 6:00pm we headed back to Harajuku - the shopping district we were in yesterday - for a couple of hours of shopping. We split up, I went into two
stores - a running store and the Adidas store - and then promptly hit my shopping limit (I lasted 20 minutes, today). So, for the next hour and a half I wandered the streets around the strip. We met back up, grabbed a quick drink, and now here we are back at the hotel.
