Hi guys!

I bet you've had as much green tea as you can drink, and as many cruncy rice cakes (sembei) and/or tasty little Japanese sweets as you can eat! (At least, that's my memory of meeting with people in Japan-- everything started with tea and snacks.) It sounds like you're having a fantastic time. Try to get someone to take you out for ramen if no one has yet-- fresh Japanese ramen, in a real ramen shop, is an entirely different animal than the rectangular, flash fried stuff you buy here! (And the cultural experience of being surrounded by slurping salary men is not to be missed.) Otanoshimi ni!

Rome I stopped at Taiko shop and took pictures for you here in Aizu, you tell me what you think, But I will post the pictures later since we are in families now and I am not using my computer where all my pictures are.
We have been slurping soba for now but not ramen yet.
