Jason and I visit Chiba Japan

Dec 11, 2005

Jason and I were up early the next morning. Apparently jet lag was still affecting our schedules. We took showers and got dressed while we waited for our hosts to emerge from their beds. We found that Heath and Rumi wanted to spend the day together at home, which was no surprise considering how long Heath and Jason had been on their security tour. Desi decided to stay with them, so we called on Shige to take us around town and show us the sites. It's always nice to have a native at your side, especially in Japan the first time you attempt their notorious rail systems!

Both Jason and Shige were worried about my being able to walk for any period of time, so we divided the day up with lots of sit down time for me. We ate at some fun restuarants, and did a lot of window shopping at the more popular market places.

Shige was eager to introduce us to a waitress at the Chiba Outback Steakhouse, so we made that our final destination. It was a lot of fun, I only wished I'd been more physically fit at the time so I could take advantage of some of the walking tours of the area. Jason quickly promised we'd come back again, and not to stress over anything I might miss on this trip.

We arrived back home a bit late, and as I was physically exhausted, I went straight to bed while he stayed up late talking to our hosts.
