Since the only activity on today's list was going to Parasite Museum & Grace didn't want to see it, I went alone about 2pm. Luckily Grace gave me a heavy duty band aide because my poor toe (to let you know it stayed on all day!). I headed out on the JR (Japan Rail) and got to my stop. It was quite a few blocks down the road. On the way there I stopped at a drug store that supposedly sells tickets to the ghibli museum and it looks like they are sold out already for the day that I was gonna go...well win some, lose some. I guess it will be ok. I have faith that it will still be here when I return, yes return.
I then walked a little further and got to the Parasite Museum. Unfortunately nothing was really in English so I just got to look at the displays and the ones that had scientific names on their plaques. It was pretty interesting even without knowing too much about what was there. I took some pics and bought 2 postcards and a little souvenir. It is way neat that I have now been to the only parasite museum in the world and seen the longest tape worm on record, plus taken pictures of it.
Since I was on my own I decided to take the long way home on the JR line, that way I can say I have been to all the stops, yeah I know horribly interesting, eh? Oh the pains of the everyday, stopping to get money, coupled by stopping at a place that sells cds (catch my trend).
PS. KIM: since I really didn't do much today I figured it qualified that Lisa would be proud that I went out on my own during a "sunny" day and that would be considered somethign she would like. (aka book activity: find something our sunny lovin' Lisa would like)
FAIR WARNING: PARASITES FOLLOW
