Skyyyy treeeee....the tree....of the Sky!




Our final full day in Tokyo led us to the top of the Sky Tre, the world's tallest tower (not BUILDING, mind you, but TOWER), where two hours of waiting in line and $30 of enterance feeds a pop did indeed pay off with some nose-bleedingly awesome views of the city.  What impressed us the most was how the elevator covered the  equivalent of the height of the Empire State Building's height in a smooth, 45 second shoot. Then you took ANOTHER eleveator that brought you even higher.  One level had a glass floor you could walk on and see the city beneath you - I wish the photos had #1 come out better, and #2 captured the screams of the patrons.




At last, I feel like I'm in the freakin' future!



Yes, the sun is as bright and punishing as it looks.
