Second Trip to Osaka


Yesterday I visited the fantastic little structure pictured here. I would have told you about it then, but by the time I got a chance to st at my computer I was so tired that I just wanted to sleep. Getting to the Castle involved a lot of uphill walking which I did not enjoy. However, seeing the castle was amazing. The thing is huge.

Unfortunately I arrived at the actual castle entrance a few minutes after it closed. This, of course, means that I couldn't go inside. Bummer.

However I have learned that I will be heading back as part of a field trip with my class next week. This means that I WILL get a chance to go inside. Anyway, I don't feel like doing a lot of typing, so here are a bunch of pictures for you to look at.

Oh yes, and Dad, I took pictured of most of the Historical Markers so you can read them later.

Cool!- Historical Markers!! Can't wait to see them... I've got to say Osaka Castle's looking pretty good, especially considering that I'm SURE I remember seeing Godzilla smash the place flat.

Were you able to speak to the Japanese cat?

There are a lot of relatives reading your blog. They just don't comment on it.

I did attempt tovopen communications with the cat, but it ignored me...
