Alive, well and in Tokyo!

Whoa--glad I looked at this after I posted it! The computer in the webcafe here in Tokyo put up some very interesting non-english letters...

So, I'm in Tokyo and all is well! The only hitch with the typhoon was an aborted landing coming into the Narita airport--pretty exciting in a 747! I knew it would be interesting when the video screen in the plan showed tailwinds of 40-50 mph while we were landing. They got us down, though, and so the trip continues...

Tokyo is hot and humid--I broke out the shorts today, the heck with the local style police! Tokyo's best are the buddhist shrines you happen upon in parks. I:ve also gotten in a couple of museums, and have successfully navigated their daunting train system. Back to the hotel this evening, then I:m off to Mt Koya and Osaka.

I may not be in touch again until my next flight in 4 or 5 days, when I can log in at the airport. Until next time--
