The next day began with breakfast at the hotel where this was my tray
before we were met by Dave Leheny who took us to his global seminar where we met Jeff Kingston
who became clear both in image and in voice as he delivered a excellent lecture. After the lecture and discussion, we headed off to an Indian restaurant with the students
and then all met at the subway station

which is also the home of the Edo museum giving some of the history of Tokyo
and having an interesting design with spaceship like escalators
rising from this plaza
where the students assembled
which amused Suzanne
but before we left the plaza
we took a group picture with back lighting
and then we noted the city's history
and took some photos of the structures there
and the model of city buildings
and tapestries
and the building complex.
We also saw the residence of the daimyo where photography with flash was ok
and the parts of the Edo castle described
and then seen
along with this woman's planquin described
and seen as a way women moved through the streets.
There were other artifacts

and then there was a hands on planquin for school girls to try out
before we came to the Kabuki theater
tools for extinguishing fires
and other objects

including the big one
and then the bicycle where Dave joined his students
and the tricycle powered by the school girls
and the high bicycle.
But then it was time to go and so we reassembled and the school girls were preparing to take our picture but the lighting wasn't right and so we convinced them to join our group photo.
On the way to the subway, I did my suma pose
before we made our way to the disaster museum where students posed in the car
and then we were shown a video about the tsunami as well as having a hands on experience in heavy smoke and this simulation of an earthquake.

to the Ginza district where I had this pizza with egg
and this group photo
was taken by the waiter who served us.
