The sunny warm weather held up for another day today, so we went to Ueno for the afternoon.I found a tourist brochure we were given when we went to Nikko that outlines all the most popular attractions in Tokyo, so we are trying to get through a page or two a week.

I had been expecting a prettier park, so Ueno was a little disappointing. The sun was so warm I quickly got a little disoriented and grumpy, and after we visited Toshogu Shrine, did a quick walk around the park and the lake full of lily pads, we went to find some lunch.

I must remember to take my umbrella out to protect myself from the sun and the grumpiness that comes from being in it…

We will go back again on a greyer day to visit some of the many museums scattered about the park, then I should be left with a happier impression of the place.
