Japan Day 3

Tuesday morning was very rainy here. We started our day by eating the buffet breakfast at our hotel. We knew it would be a lot of food but what else did we have to do. the food selection was amazing. There was very little Western type breakfast food but everything tasted excellent. Some of the tofu dishes were especially pleasing to Sharon. We've been borrowed an umbrella and did some walking before our check out of 11 a.m. We left one bag at the hotel since we will be back in 3 days. We took the train to Koshien where we had baseball tickets for the evening game. We are crossing our fingers that the game would not be rained out. The game was played and we enjoyed it. One of the pictures was a previous USA player. The fans are very enthusiastic. They let balloons off during the seventh inning stretch. There were cheerleaders and mini beer girls with kegs on their backs to keep the cups full. I read that the beer is brewed locally and brought to the stadium fresh. The food selection was not hot dogs. One of the biggest differences was that the game officially ended in a tie! Our hotel was just a few blocks from the stadium so that made it convenient.
