Day 8: Osaka Sister City, Boat Tour and Osaka Castle

The sister city then took us on a boat tour of their river front and to Osaka Castle. I won't lie, it was very hot and humid. It was the first da we really used our "sweat rags" - we felt like we sweat so much because we were melting!!

River front and boat tour, look familiar?

Orderly waiting in line - always

The boats roof raised up and down to pass under bridges.

Of course I took pictures of insects. 

After the castle the Osaka City secretary was going to take us to yet another area, but we were so hot and uncomfortable, we just wanted to shower and change clothes. She wanted to make sure we "weren't bored and we were taken care of."

Happy travels !!
