I'm going through all my photos from my trip, and have a bunch of random photos, some with a story, some just photos.  Hopefully they aren't repeats, but I have so many photos, and a poor memory, so I may have posted them before.

Some random street scenes - I love seeing construction on the sky scrapers - how do they do that?  How do they get these things off the roof when they are done??

A shot of a couple of the trains we rode, and the typical entryway into the stations.  It was amazing how quickly people could move through the system.  We used a prepaid debit card and every time you swiped it, it gave you the fair you were paying and the remaining balance on your card, all so fast!

I mentioned before that while things went smoothly for us in Japan, Cindy had a few issues on the home front.  One day, I heard my Ring camera doorbell go off.  I thought to myself, hmmm, I wonder who's visiting today?? I checked the Ring doorbell camera, and found that I had a whole lot gentlemen in uniform knocking on the door.  Not what I was expecting at all. 

Poor Cindy, she was fixing Alli's dinner, and Alli tripped on something and fell while Cindy had her back to her.  There's no way Cindy can pick Allison up, and Allison doesn't have the strength/ability to get up by herself.  Cindy had to call 911 to get some first-responders out to pick up Allison.

As soon as I saw the first-responders coming in to the house, I switched form the door camera to the camera in the living room, and saw them chat with Cindy for a bit, and then lift Allison up.  Bless Alli's heart, as soon as she was up, she went and sat in her chair and reached for her dinner plate.  Heck with falling, she was hungry!  I knew then that she wasn't hurt.  I tried to give Cindy some time before I checked in with her, but I still probably rushed her.  She felt so bad that Alli fell on her watch.
