Tokyo and Thanksgiving

I went to Tokyo for a short and uneventful week about a month ago. Our flight was about 5 hours late and so we arrived at the hotel sometime after midnight, which really wasn't all that bad. I did get to visit Kawasaki Daishi temple one afternoon, which was quite beautiful and also quite empty. The monks were there and one of them was pounding slowly on a huge drum. It sounded great, echoing around inside the temple and then out into the courtyard. It was very late afternoon, though, so there wasn't much light butr I did manage to take a few photos regardless.

Thanksgiving was fun and we all had a great time. I didn't do anything "different" this year regarding turkey cooking; we just had roasted turkey breast; all meat, no bone, super moist an very very good.
