The Tokyo Photographic Art Museum is awesome. I came here for the old Tokyo photography exhibit - A Traveler from 1200 Months in the Past. Admission was 700 yen. There were other exhibits and each one has their own admission cost. Video is not allowed and certain photos are not allowed to be photographed. It was great to see how Tokyo changed from patches of dirt to the way it is now.

I love riding my bike on the track. On most mornings, it is windy making it harder to travel east on the track. Sometimes they will close the cycling track if there are games played on the soccer field.

We were picking up drinks and snacks for our bicycle ride. I found their selection of beers and snacks lacking. There were empty shelves. It could be because of the supply chain issues we've been having. But they did have spam musubi with egg! That's awesome. I liked their selection of onigiri a lot. Those triangle shaped rice balls are delicious. I tried eating them while riding my bicycle and made a mess of it. There's this thing you have to do in order to open it properly to make the seaweed match up with the rice. It is tough to do if you are driving or riding a bike. This place reminded me of supermarkets in Japan hence the five star review. They really need to stock those 9% alcohol shochu drinks, Strong Zero.

King of Thai finally got rid of the purple walls inside and remodeled. It no longer feels like eating in a dark garage. They installed new flooring and light fixtures. I had the garlic wings $12 for 6 wings. It smelled wonderful and tasted great. It came with this unique sweet soy sauce with green onions and ground pepper mixed in. The crab fried rice $15 was bland. I had to add a massive amount of hot peppers to make it not taste like paste. Service was fine and my food came out fast.

Cafe Bakery's indoor dining room reopened earlier this summer. They check both vaccine card and matching ID. I had their Sept. Tuesday special, baked seafood spaghetti $15. The specials menu rotates every month. It came with a complementary borsch soup, milk tea and jello. I didn't care for the soup or the jello. I did love the milk tea and refills. The sweet and spicy wings $11 weren't bad. It had a thick sweet sauce with dried chili peppers over the crunchy, deep fried, six pieces of drumsticks and wings. They weren't hot at all. I should have gotten their other Tuesday special instead, the pork cutlet. The other patrons mostly all ordered the cutlet. Service was excellent and I'm glad they are reopened again for indoor dining.
