We didn't know what to do with ourselves, so we just walked around and enjoyed the atmosphere and took pictures.
We thought we would go try to see the next British Invasion show, but when we got to the UK we noticed it was very empty. We pulled out our times guide and realized that they were not playing that day. We tried to see what else we could catch and thought that Matsuriza would be cool, so we went back to Japan.
Quick stop in France:
This is why DH is not allowed to take the self-portrait pics.
We got to Japan and wandered through the stores there. Have you guys ever stopped to look at some of the merchandise? Specifically the massage section? There is one in there, I guess it's a hand massager because the diagram is of an open palm. The massage tool itself... let's just say it resembles a certain part of the male anatomy. That combined with the hand diagram... well, it's good for a laugh every time! We took a picture of it a couple years ago, but it's on my other hard drive. I'll see if I can find it.
We came out and Matsuriza had already started playing, so we watched them. DH really likes their performance.
We started heading back to Italy after that because I wanted to get a Bellini before dinner. I had read about these online, too, and tried one last year and fell in love. Once again, the girl didn't believe how old I was, but I was getting used to that. The drink was good, but it was the remnants from one bottle that was almost done, so it was kind of like the last glass from an orange juice container. She added some from a new bottle which helped a little.
It was just about time for dinner, so we walked back to Alfredo's and there was a huge line. We ate here last year, so I thought I remembered that we checked-in inside. I left DH on line outside while I went to ask inside. I was right, and the CM filled out an index card with our names, dining plan info, and he grabbed a big red crayon and wrote in all caps, "HONEYMOON" and circled it. He told me I could have a seat and someone would call us when a table was ready.
I brought DH inside and we each took turns using the restroom while the other waited. We only had to wait about 10 minutes or so before we were called. We were seated and it took pretty much forever for our server to come take our drink orders. I had a diet coke and I'm pretty sure he had iced tea. We also ordered appetizers, I had the lobster bisque and DH had the calamari.
We were brought the rolls and oil, but I wanted butter because I saw the people next to us had some. We didn't see our waiter again until our entrees were brought out, so I never did get it.
Everything so far was very good. I liked this soup better than the one at Coral Reef -- this one was less fishy-tasting.
For dinner, I had the fettucine and DH had the lasagna (they call it something else on the menu, but I forget what exactly). He had this last year and it was his favorite. It was all he could talk about before the trip -- he was so excited to come back here for it.
He took a bite and made a face. He said it wasn't the same, that it was gross. He said that last time, it was more "mixed up" and just kind of a mishmash of all the ingredients. I knew what he meant and just by looking at it I could tell it was different. I told him to ask the waiter if that was the correct meal and if they had changed the preparation of it.
The waiter was highly offended and laughed a little and insisted that it was correct. You tell me:
Last year's:
This year's:
Maybe it's just us, but they look different and he said they tasted differently also. He said it tasted much more Americanized and wondered if they had given him a child's lasanga meal instead. In any case, he didn't enjoy his meal at all
Mine was very good, however.
For dessert, we both ordered the chocolate mouse, and that was excellent. I couldn't finish mine, but DH helped
I have to admit, I was a little disappointed at the lack of pixie dust at this meal. I wasn't expecting anything really, but when I saw the host make a huge notation for the server that we were on our honeymoon, well, a "congratulations" would have been nice.
The plan was to watch Illuminations after dinner and videotape it. We couldn't find any good spots to stand, so we gave up and just watched it from Canada. I tried videotaping, but the people in front of us didn't know how to stand still, so they kept walking in front of the camera and I gave up.
We left right after the show was over and we beat a lot of people back to the bus since we were so close to the exit already. We hopped on our bus, got back to Pop and went straight to sleep!
Coming Up: Segway Tour! Do I go through with it or chicken out?
hno: 
Can't wait to hear more!!
