Christmas Break - Tokyo Days 3 and 4
We had planned on staying in Tokyo for just one more day, but we ended up staying another day. It was actually Jonathan who wanted to stay more than I did. I still wasn't feeling 100% better and felt like I wouldn't get completely better until I rested at home, but I was well enough.
Once we went outside though and started walking around I felt really good and was glad that we had booked another hotel.
We spent the morning in Akihabara. It was...

Christmas Break - Matsumoto Castle
The day after skiing, Jonathan and I headed back to Tokyo and stopped by Matsumoto Castle. I still wasn't feeling well that morning. I had wanted to go to the other onsen at the hotel, but I couldn't. Though Jonathan went to the better one that morning for the first time and said that the other one wasn't nearly as nice. So I didn't really miss much, but it will would have been nice.
We ate breakfast at the hotel and I was still nauseous...
Christmas Break - Skiing
The next day after the monkey park we went skiing at Shiga Kogen, which is a huge skiing area. It has like 70-something ski lifts. The pictures here are from the bus ride. I don't have any of where we actually skied. ...

Christmas Break - Jigokudani Monkey Park
We spent Christmas day traveling to Nagano. It was a long boring day on trains. We got on the train in Oimachi (where our hotel in Tokyo was) a little after 10 and arrived at Yudanka Station around 6:30.
Before leaving Tokyo we picked up a few snacks at 7-Eleven. I saw these Mountain Dew corn snacks (basically Moutain Dew flavored Cheetos) and couldn't resist....

Christmas Break - Tokyo Day 2 - Odaiba
On Christmas Eve Jonathan and I spent the day in Odaiba.
We took the Yurikamome monorail which is one of my favorite trains. It's automated and there aren't any drivers so you can sit right up front and have a great view! We didn't take the first train available and we waited for the next one to be able to sit up front. It was worth waiting a few extra minutes!
We first went to Decks, a really interesting shopping mall. We...

Christmas Break - Tokyo Day 1
On the 23rd Jonathan and I went to Tokyo. That evening we went to see Christmas lights in Roppongi. I had read about different illumination displays in Tokyo and this one sounded neat. I didn't expect such a crowd though! We actually had to wait in line. Luckily we only waited about 15 minutes.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! I'm a bit late for Christmas but I was
traveling all last week. Since Jonathan and I were going to be traveling
on Christmas we opened gifts on Sunday, a few days early.
The night before we ate dinner together and watched Home Alone. I made gratin and stuffing for dinner. We also had cranberry sauce which I had found in a grocery store near Hamamatsu Station a few days before. So excitin...
