California Pizza Kitchen Japanese Style

We actually found a California Pizza Kitchen in Japan, can you believe it? Thanks to my friend and neighbor. She said it was good tasted just like it did back in the states and was fairly easy to get to. It was just 4 stops away by train. However, once you got off you had to walk to the other train line and around it to get inside the Lozano Mall. It was a huge outdoor mall with mobs of people. They had a little fashion show of some type going on we couldn't see it or understand it so we didn't stay to watch it. The funniest part we had to say was that it was about 68 degrees outside and all the Japanese thought it was cold. They must have looked at us with no coats and Don and Kyle in shorts, shaking their heads thinking "those crazy Americans". They were already in winter coats, scarfs and hats. The train had heat blasting. We were so refreshed when we finally got outside in the fresh air. I guess it's like when we lived in Hawaii and after the first year we were finally acclimated. Even the dogs had sweaters on them. Just an observation on my part I'm not trying to say anything bad about anybody, just thought it was funny and how they had to be sweating but they weren't.

Here is a picture Kyle had me take on the train. The "two clones" (they never travel without a book), you always find them like this, they didn't even know we snapped the picture:




Here is a picture of Lozano Mall and the crowds of people:

Here are pictures the kids took of us at the table. Here's Megan's photo skills:



Here's Kyle's picture:




Next, we hopped back on the train and went one stop to Yokohama to Cosmo World to ride the Ferris Wheel at night. We had never rode the ferris wheel yet. It was a 75 minute wait which they both did well in line. However, about 10 minutes before we were ready to ride Kyle had to go pee. We couldn't get out of line so we told him he had to hold it. Then we finally got in the ferris wheel. It's about a 15 minute ride. We were about more than half way around when he really had to go and said he couldn't hold it and Megan now had to go. I guess the 4 refills of lemonade were finally working through the system. Yes, we did make them go potty before at the train station. Anyway, we made it accident free off the ferris wheel and ran to the nearest toilet.







Good thing we didn't see this before they went to the bathroom, I think it would've scared the pee right out of Kyle.
