10/5/12 (continued)

We're at the Imperial Palace, which unfortunately was closed to the public. 

 

Here we are!

 

Here's Ryan!  (funny boy!)

 

Here's a classic picture....A stunning contrast between Old & New; Beautifully stylized architecture vs. modern architecture.

 

Front Gate to the Imperial Palace where the Emperor & his family reside.

 

This guy came out of nowhere and landed right above me.  I made some sounds and he copied me, over & over.  hahahaha

Majestic, don't you think?

 

 

Father & son enjoying the rest, the water fountain, the artist behind us and they're waiting patiently for Nikki who's taking pictures of different scenes around this park located directly across from the Imperial Palace.

 

 

And we're off again to catch the subway and heading for Rappongi!
