Here's some art in the subway.  Nice yeah?

And the Subway is CLEAN!

 

 

On our way to the Imperial Palace.  We passed this construction site.  They actually cover the entire project so that debris /anything doesn't dirty the area or bother anyone.  Hmm, should U.S. construction sites do this too?

 

We passed this shrine & stopped in to see what this was all about.

 

Here's the story about this shrine.

Associated with the Kanda Matsuri.

 

 

What a beautiful greeting as we approached the Imperial Palace, she swam right up to us.

 

 

Then as she swam away, she lifted her wings and wiggled her bottom, as if to say "goodbye"!

 

 

At the Imperial Palace!
