Yokoso Japan!

That is the greeting that I saw on the walls when we were in the airport. We made it to Japan after about 14 hours. Then we took a bus ride for about an hour and a half to arrive at the Tokyo Dome Hotel. My room overlooks a baseball stadium called the Tokyo Dome that looks to be about the same size as the metrodome in Minneapolis. It is about 9:30 p.m. Tokyo time and 7:30 a.m. your time. As I look out my window I can see a big ferris wheel and other interesting lights. I'll have to look at them during the daylight and see what they are. I'm up on the 29th floor, so I have a nice view of everything. It has been raining since we came, but I am told that it is supposed to clear up tomorrow.

By the way, Flat Stanley decided to sleep on the windowsill because he likes the view so much. He was a real trooper and did not complain at all about the long flight. I think that we are going to have lots of fun tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, we will be visiting Osaki High School in Tokyo. Maybe I'll get a chance to take a picture of the springs in the basement tomorrow. Tomorrow evening we will be attending a reception with the PTA from Osaki High School.

I haven't had any time to take pictures yet, but will do my best to post some tomorrow night. Well everyone, it is time for me to get some sleep.

Oyasuminasai.
