Baseball binoculars

明治神宮野球場での双眼鏡

I have seen binoculars at baseball games before, but this guy took things to a different level. I imagine he positions himself in this same spot for all games. He had the worst seat in the house, but with his binoculars on a tripod he had perhaps the best view of the action.

After my fabulous dinner at Fudoin, I headed out for a night walk through Okunoin. When I returned the monks had made my bed. I sleep so much better in a futon than a western-style bed.

Iwaso dinner

Lime

Iwaso is not exactly an inexpensive place to stay. Not that it isn’t worth it; I’d gladly pay more. Part of the reason is the many courses of a fabulous dinner served right in your room. From what I could see online, the food looked like fish, fish, and more fish. I’m not a big fan of fish. So I asked for something a little different. They delivered. My main course was sukiyaki.

Today’s photo was of one of the appetizers. Fish was included, and it was good.
