A New Granddaughter

We have an announcement! Mari and Miguel have found out they have not just two, but THREE granddaughters!!!! 

At the Chinese restaurant where we joined Carlos's mom for lunch, Carlos's mom introduced her son, his wife, and granddaughter. The owner looked really confused. He looked back and forth from Carlos to Bethany, and then looked at the stroller too. Suddenly we find out that the owner thought Bethany was the granddaughter and he wondered where the wife was! The owner erupted in a fit of laughter and tried to make one of the waiters guess Bethany's age. More laughter and disbelief ensued. Now there's a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo where everyone will remember that Bethany is 32. [Carlos and his mom think that the owner thought that Bethany was Cater's daughter and not Carlos's.  Bethany thinks they are making that up.]

The owner of the restaurant happily got into a photo with the granddaughter and her grandmother! When he found out that Bethany is Chinese, he went back to the kitchen to make sure more cha xiu was added to the rice, which he dubbed Yoga no cha han (Yoga's fried rice--Yoga is the name of the neighborhood).

And we went to the Imperial Palace's East Gardens too on Tuesday.

Fancy hotels and department stores are perfect places to feed Simba
