Today was a slow day.
I think everybody's JET lag is rubbing off on me because I had a hard time getting out of couch this morning. Once again, I was more than happy to let Jerry make the morning coffee.
We didn't get to the grandparents' hotel (with breakfast from Little Mermaid bakery and coffee from McDonald's in hand) until 9:30 AM. They wondered why we came so late and we reminded them that they told us to come between 9:00 and 10:00. They must have forgotten.
Emily had to work a half day, so to kill the time I gave the family the option of visiting Zuiryuji temple or going back to our apartment to relax. They chose the latter.
I'm glad they did because it gave me the chance to go back to bed. I got back up when Emily got home.
We ended up spending the afternoon at AEON, but not before stopping for lunch at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. This was a great experience. Jerry and the grandparents were beyond reluctant to eat raw fish, but by simply telling them that the tuna, salmon, and shrimp were cooked, we were able to fool them into eating it.
We didn't tell them that they had eaten raw seafood until after we had left the restaurant.
We caught the 5:34 bus back to Takaoka Station and dropped the grandparents off at the hotel. We're going to stay in for the night. Jerry's already passed out on the couch and Emily and I are pretty tired ourselves.
We have plans to go to Himi tomorrow, but the forecast calls for rain in the morning, so we might have to cancel or reschedule. We'll see.
