A Boat and Asakusa

So here's the boat we took to Asakusa:

The ride itself, though very hot, was also quite lovely. It was nice to just sit for a little while and watch the city go by:

Asakusa is a temple. It looks like this:


But the area is also known for the excelent touristy shopping to be had there. We spent most of the afternoon wandering around looking for lunch and then nice things to take home to friends and families (or keep for ourselves). Having seen a TON of temples already, we actually failed to go inside this one... oops.
Anyway, after shopping we had dinner and then went straight home for an early night because the next morning had an early start scheduled: a trip to the fish market...
