Yesterday we met up with Roger, one of AJ’s friends from school when went to Waseda and did a semi-tour of the school.  Turns out we are here on a three-day weekend, and the school was closed.  

We then headed Euno Park for a “festival”, but the it was starting to rain….Not much happening at the festival.  So, we went to the zoo.

After the zoo, we met up with another of AJ’s friends from school, Ernesto, for dinner.  Mexican food in Shibuya….I don’t recommend it.  We were in Shibuya hoping to see some Halloween costumes but the city had shut down the festivities.  Shibuya used to be a wild place evidently for Halloween, but not this year. It was pouring rain and police were everywhere with whistles…. Very loud and wet. We went soaked to the skin, and I was the only one with boots on.  Due to a miscommunication, instead of going somewhere else to watch the Halloween fun, we tromped a mile or so in the rain. We end up at the station instead of the park, so we called it a night.  Walking the streets of Shibuya in the rain with umbrellas everywhere was an experience 

And “the boys”:

A little over 30,000 steps yesterday, and off to Kyoto today.
