On friday at the staff-party a co-worker asked us if we wanted to spend a day with him and his family. On monday (japanese nationalday) we met up with them and spent the day visiting markets and a tempel.

| Here they are! Our new japanese friends. They have lived in America for 2 years so they speak English. And the wife is studying a bit Swedish aswell. We hope they visit us in Sweden in the future. |

First the took us to Gueno Park. This place is famous for its sakura festival in the spring. It grows a lot of cherry trees here, and the festival is when they are in bloom. Must be pretty beautiful. Besides cherry trees there was a tree called Ginko tree. The fruit of this thee is considered a delicasy, but they smell really bad!
 |
| There was a lot of tourists in Gueno park this sunny day. One litte girl was taking a bath in afountain. |
|
 |
| This is displays fo traditional japanese deserts outside a caffé. We went in and had some green tea ice gream with sweet bean paste and seaweed yello. Even the deserts in japan is good for the health! |
 |
| Ameyoko Market. |
 |
| You could buy everything! Here is some squid. |
 |
| Pretty tea jars. |
 |
| On the way to another market place called Kappabashi market we walket along a street that had several stores that only had a special kind of cabinet for sale. Apperantly you use these cabinets to put a memory from someone who just past away. Like a little cemetary at home. |

| Anna & Louisa at kappabashi market. |
 |
| On this market you woul buy kitchen stuff, but further down the way to a temple they were selling more traditional things, like these lovely kokeshi dolls. |
 |
| Very good service, you get a carefully wraped package if you buy something. |
 |
| It was a really hot day! Over 25 degrees celsius and very humid, so an ice cream burger suited the aucation. |
 |
| The tempel is called the Sensojitempel and is located in Asakusa |
 |
| Pressy shrines |
