Ohayo! (Pronounced oh-HI-oh) Good Morning from Tokyo. We had a wonderful flight, thanks to all of Chris’s frequent flyer miles, and our upgraded business class seats. We arrived at the Narita airport about 5:00 p.m. yesterday, but by the time we navigated the train into the city, then a taxi to the hotel, it was close to 8:00 p.m. before we were settled into our room. Even though we traveled comfortably, we haven’t escaped the inevitable jet lag. Well, we are on the other side of the globe, 13 hours difference from our home in Florida. So, it wasn’t terribly surprising that we were bright eyed and wide awake at 2:00 a.m. Hopefully, we’ll adjust to this time zone soon. Today, Chris is in meetings with clients, so Sydney and I went out for a little exploring. We got directions from the hotel to a nearby shopping area and park. We ventured out to see what’s around us, and to find a market so we could get some water and snacks at lower than hotel prices. Unfortunately, today’s weather is windy and rainy, so we weren’t out for long. The nearby Yeshibu Garden Place was very nice. After a little more walking, we popped into a small corner market for our snacks and water. Deciphering the food labels was interesting, to say the least! We ended up choosing some chips, which now we know are flavored with seaweed. Sounds strange, but they are delicious!

We couldn’t sleep very well last night, even though we were really tired. Lots of the Japanese people wear masks, and that seems strange to me. I wonder how they eat and drink with those masks on?
