Your trip sounds rich in food, friends, and memories. Have a safe trip home, and call me after you have landed and rested. Looking forward to seeing you. Thanks so much for the travelog!

Hi everybody. It's so much fun to get your account of your travels. It does seem amazing that one would have trouble finding wifi in Japan! The weather here is probably much like Japan - hot and humid. But we have had powerful thunderstorms in the last 2 days, which have been loud and flashy. More later.

your sankei-en adventure is bringing it all back to me - AND the ume-shu jeri reminds me that I have a bottle of umeshu in the fridge ( purchased form a Chinese grocery store in the city) and I will go home tonight and salute you with it! if you get a chance to go to the Yokohama Union Church please send my regards and give me a report - it's a new building - and I understand my lovely old place opposite is no more ,,,,,,,,,,,
