Convenience store meals!

We are just back in the Apartment after an awesome day out. Morning spent at the fish market followed by a picnic lunch and some R&R in the park. I'm well into my second book of the trip and can't recall getting lost in time as I did this afternoon...back now for some math, blog posting and a rest before our last dinner in Japan. 

Had posted earlier that the food here is really reasonable. Of course you can go for the high end experiences too, but it does really amaze me that you can basically eat 3 reasonably healthy meals right out of a "conbeni" or convenience store. They have one every 300m or so - 7-11, Lawson, Daily 24 etc. This morning while Craig was enjoying a sushi breakfast, the girls and I had a conbeni breakfast of bananas, croissants, pancake things, almonds. For lunch, we had salads, rice balls, sandwiches, pineapple and rice crackers. Delish and doesn't break the bank. The stores are well stocked with bento meals and you can microwave them too. Pretty cool. Can't imagine eating my dinner at a 7-11 at home. 

Last night in Japan. It's been amazing. 10/10 for sure. Have to admit that I am a bit nervous for what is in front of us but suppose that is part of the fun!
