Snow!

Today it snowed in Tokyo. Being born and raised in California, snow is a novelty. It snowed once in my lifetime in my hometown of Merced, California. I of course was taking a mid afternoon nap as this was occuring, so to me, this event never happened.

I'm not used to cold and it just so happened to be snowing on the day we were scheduled for a tour of the imperial palace. This was an outdoor tour. Though I don't think I have ever been so cold, it wasn't so bad. I actually slightly enjoyed it. Our poor BTMU laisons, these girls are thin as a post and had only their wet heels and both were in skirts! Japanese women are hard core.
