Vending Machine Lunch and Crepes

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I am no longer losing weight....

Sunday March 2, 2008
After we visited the Through Each Other's Eyes photo exhibit (photographers from Himeji and Phoenix "trade" places and take photos of each other's home town and area), we decided to try a new lunch place. We had seen this shop before and decided it was time to venture it.

When you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by two of these machines.

You look at the pictures on top (unless you can read Japanese, then you just read) and when you have decided, you purchase your meal ticket in the vending machine. Then you find a table and the waitress takes your ticket and then shortly later she brings you your food. The food was pretty good.
Sara enjoyed it.

After we finished lunch, we headed over to the crepe shop. These are everywhere in Japan and I am sad to admit, I have become obsessed with them....wanting to try them everywhere. Good thing we walk and bike for exercise when we go to them.

You can choose from many different fruits and treats as well as salads and sandwich fixing. I of course always go for the sweets. When Aunt Mary was in town, I took her to one in Hiroshima and she tried a ham & cheese and liked it. Not sure if I will give up my dessert crepes thought, but it sure looked good.
Strawberry, chocolate syrup and chocolate chunks with cream....OISHI!!!
