If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you definitely know that I’ve spent the last 5 days in Tokyo, exploring the city’s colors and cuisine. It was such a whirlwind adventure. I felt out of place the entire time because almost no one spoke English and the city is gigantic! We did everything from visiting the Tsukiji fish market (and ate the freshest sushi there of all time) to strolling around under the Sakuras (cherry blossoms), to shopping in the super hip Harajuku neighborhood, to eating all sorts of new foods (sea urchin was a first!).

Overall I loved Tokyo but am thrilled to be home back with my husband and sleeping in my own bed. After 2 and a half weeks away (first in Indonesia), it felt like an eternity since I had last been in New York. I’m surprised how much I missed it.
