Found myself in Tokyo for a small bit of business this week and, while I couldn't get out to take a lot of photos, I did manage to get a hell of a lot of steps in just getting from place to place. And I managed to get a nice shot of Tokyo Tower, which is always a nice sight.

Shinjuku park is a lovely, little (big) oasis in the middle of the city. I took a shortcut through the park and took a second to enjoy the beautiful spring weather. There wasn't a whole lot going on in terms of flowers or festivals, but it was still a nice breather.

Just a hint of the skyline from the park. These are (I think) the metro government towers in Shinjuku. Rumor is that the view from the towers is really, really lovely, but I've never had a chance to go up and see. Maybe next time.

I did, however, manage to sneak up to the top of the World Trade Center towers late in the afternoon and get this cute shot of some sleepy-eyed owlets sneaking around the city...

And what's a trip to Tokyo without stopping to indulge in all the junk food I don't normally get to eat? This time, we chose Taco Bell and it was just as good as it is at home. A little different in size and price, maybe, but just as good.
