Arrival


After 11 shockingly comfortable hours on a ANA fight, we arrive in Tokyo. The local time, is 3pm and we're so happy to be here our bodies are tricked into thinking they haven't been up all night and are ready to go walking and exploring. One surprise so far - I guess security is tight everywhere, as we are all (except for the Cookie), fingerprinted and photographed once we go through customs. The weather is warm and a bit steamy but still comfortable. Even though we're not exactly coming from a rural area, the excitement of the city - bright lights, sounds, crowds - is really energizing. We fumble around, grab a quick shabu shabu dinner in the hotel and suddenly realize we've all hit the wall. Off to bed and to more adventures tomorrow.
