And boy, did we overdo it!
I’m nursing some EXTREMELY sore feet and Ken and I both have sore backs.
But to recap since we last chatted…
We did go back out last night (well our last night) after doing some online searching for a good resturant that had English menus.  We had a chance to have yakitori [...]
