We had dinner at Hermano's Mexican Restaurant where we enjoyed margaritas and nachos for the first time since we left the states. Mmmmm......

We spent the rest of the evening around Amerikamura (America Village), an area of trendy shops, bars, and cafes in Osaka. Many of the stores had djs playing in the window, or music playing out into the streets. We also enjoyed this graffiti mural.
