Last Saturday Ryoko, Yuta, and I went to Tokyo so that we could attend a turkey dinner at the Grand Lodge of Japan. I had to work most of that day in Kashiwa, so Ryoko and Yuta met me at the train station so that we could travel together. I took this picture of Tokyo Tower as we were approaching the lodge. When we got to the Scottish Rite lodge room where the dinner was being held, the Christmas theme was fully realized. I felt like I was back in the States. The turkey was delicious and there were copious quantities of stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, and afterwards pies of all appropriate flavors. I am glad to say that I stuffed myself, as did Yuta and Ryoko. Yuta made a friend there named Shane, a very dignified ten year old son of another mason. I exchanged email addresses with them and maybe we can host them some time soon. These photos were taken in the lodge as we were leaving the dinner.
Overall the dinner was a great success, the only issue I had was that the dishes were cold. I am accustomed to turkey being still hot from the oven. . .
