Six months ago we were taking a train from Kyoto to Tokyo and we met Essa and his daughters on the train. They live in Qatar and were excited that we had been there and more excited that we were going to return. So me made contact and arranged to meet them again. Essa came and picked us up from the hotel and took is to the L'wzaar Seafood Restaurant for one of the finest seafood meals we have ever had. We gad a great time talking travel and seeing pictures from their time in Japan. We learned about the daughters and about their kids. We sat and ate for what seemed like hours and it was so tasty. Essa kept telling Leslie to eat more but I suspect he was more concerned that I was eating too much. The neighborhood where the restaurant was very fancy with art galleries, cafes, a mosque and a huge Romanesque amphitheater.
