I arrived home this morning from Tokyo, my month off over and as always, immediately feel like I didn’t travel anywhere. Such is travel.
More about the trip and Tokyo when I stop feeling phantom turbulance.
But just one note for now: There is a Cafe du Monde in Ikebukuro. So completely random. Where they serve items other than coffee and beignets!

Welcome home!–which I suppose is a sort of funny thing to say, since home for you is on the other side of the world, but anyway, the sentiment remains the same. I’m just incredibly tickled that there’s a Cafe du Monde in Ikebukuro. What do they serve?
Hey Laura, thanks
Apart from the usual array of coffees and beignets, they also serve a variety of tasty-looking paninis.
Turns out that there are 56 Cafe Du Mondes around Japan, the only place that they are located outside of Louisiana.
Japan’s odd like that. A lot of stores seem to have outlets only in flagship locations, and Tokyo.
