Email sent to family
• My bed, and the term is used very liberally here, is a box spring with a one inch pad. My back is in constant spasms during the night.
• Cold front has come in and it is 50º and rainy with lows in the 30s. Our room is a toasty upper-60s. Can't be certain, but the butter is hard and children's feet and hands are cold.
• All children have sniffles and coughs, but no more fevers.
• We've taken trains, subways, buses, taxis, and walked, walked, walked.
• We saw a whale shark and it only took 7 trains and 3 hours to get there! We found a better way to get back--4 trains and 2 hours. Our kids are amazing.
• Rachel's favorite part of this trip is this hotel. Oh, the irony! Probably because the room is actually large enough to all be in it together.
• Eva's favorite part is watching a movie. The catch is she hasn't watched any movies. I let her watch the song "Frozen" on youtube last night. It was an amazing motivator for getting her ready for bed fast.
• Everyone's favorites are the monkeys and petting the sharks and rays at the aquarium.
• I've stopped crying...possibly just from dehydration or exhaustion. ;)
Only 5 more days before we're home. My bed is calling me…..Osaka Aquarium
