Takeo Library

Last Sunday we decided to have a little adventure.  We got on the train and went to Takeo Library.  This library was featured on the TV a few months back and has become rather famous!  What makes this library special is the fact that it  has a Starbucks cafe inside and  another book store.  So you can borrow books, have a coffee or buy books!  Also you can join regardless of where you live in Japan and they have a system to have books sent back by one of the parcel carriers.
So Sunday morning we set off nice and early.  Got on the local train, which  was took us a station where we had to change trains!  That was an adventure in itself.  The next local train was an hours wait, in the rain! So we decided to pay a bit extra and get on the express train, the took only 10 minutes!
From the station to the library was good 15 minutes walk. I don't mind walking but Mikey walks too fast!  He was marching off in front of us, but he was the only one who knew where we were going.  I kept asking him to slow down but he just rolled his eyes at me!
The library wasn't as large as we thought it was but it did have a good selection of books.  The biggest problem for me was the heat.  It was just too hot for me, either the air conditioner was set high or turned off.  The place was packed which didn't help!  We spent a couple of hours there then went over the road to the mall for some lunch and look round.
We had to get the express train back, we would had to wait oveer an hour for the local train.
Everybody had a good time and it was nice to get out of the house for a day!

I took a few photos but I think my camera has had it. the recent photos are all blury.

Friday and Monday I had to take Hannah to the eye hospital.  She has an infection in her eye. It's not a big problem but looks awful.  We got eye drops that have to put in four times a day.  Today it looks a lot better.
