Of course again today we really didn't　sleep in as we thought we might. Almost everyday we have our alarm set to abouｔ　9am we always wake up earlier. Are mission today was to explore Shibuya-ku and Harajuku-ku. Shibuya is known for its very famous pedestrian crossing that is featured in many movies and its many MANY stores. So it is basically right outside the station exit and you just walk right into the thick of it. There are so many people and so much going on its amazing. I don't even think it gets super busy until night.

Famous Shibuya Crossing



Lisa: Totally awesome that first think that is seen is the fact that Starbucks has the corner store on the main building at the crossing. So of course that is where we headed first.

Gracie is very happy as well as girls with their Starbucks will be!


It was major shopping after that. I was in and out of cd stores like mad trying to find the last ones on my list. Seriously I am totally obsessed, good for Grace for putting up with my insanity. I probably have like 20 cds now. Luckily the Oak Hotel will keep our extra stuff in their storage until our return trip. That will definitely lighten the load for us both.

In between there we found the most awesome Disney Store EVAR! Castle Disney should come to our town! We went a little hog wild, the both of us were basically swallowed up by all the cuteness. It was damn near impossible to leave because we wanted to buy everything. People better like what we got them because we think it is pretty dang cute! We had to get pictures outside, it was a must!



Wandering the tiny crowded streets of stores and people



After all the wandering and cd searching (oh and we did go into other stores just to let you know, not to mention buying several other cool items) we had a lunch of champions.



Gracie entertainment at 'donalds



Again we find ourselves back on the streets. We managed to explore most of the core area and I even did a manga search (though no success Nat). I passed by this store and totally thought of you MOM -->


You know what it is yes?

Grace documented my tribute to Europe/conventions.




Then onto the infamous Harajuku where all the "scene" kids go to hang out, first stops first, Grace represents in front of the Meiji Shrine gates.



Then what we all have been waiting for...



So cute!


PS. Nat I kept meaning to say, but I am so glad that you have an icon up now and its totally awesome pic of you!
