Here is a pic of our greeter-'Totoro'. I'm convinced he'd give American children nightmares and I still haven't figured out his charm for the Japanese kids. Nonetheless, he is the pride and joy of Ghibli Studio.

Okay, sorry the pics have been slow in coming lately. These pics are from Ghibli Studios. We went there a couple of weeks ago with the Sasaki family, Ami, and Miho. Here, we are posing with a robot on the roof of the studio with from Raputa ('I think in English its Castle in the Sky'). Afterwards, we ended our day in Tokyo with a stroll through Ginza and a sweet, sweet meal at TGI Fridays.
