(continued)

As we head over the bridge over the Dotonbori River and head into the district itself, this is the first thing that we see (besides the hordes of crowds)



Kind of like Times Square but with magical mushrooms enhancing the experience



Our friend, the crab, from earlier today. Looks even more impressive when he's all lit up.



And the same streets as before filled with people and now with the neon on





Did I ever mention that Amanda's a sucker for dachshunds? This is the only reason why this picture exists.



We finally turn away from Dotonbori and head back towards the hotel. This is a night shot of the Takashimaya Department Store which is located right next to our hotel. The lights you see in the background are the hotel.



We know that Sheri's supposed to be checking in tonight late so we drop by the front desk to leave her a message (we end up leaving her a voice message on her room phone) and head up to our room to hit the sack.

Tomorrow, the Mariner!
