Well, we made it home safely Thursday night (8/07/08), although weather delayed our final leg from Atlanta to Nashville. We really enjoyed the almost 8 hours of layover we had at Narita International Airport near Tokyo. On the advice of a Japanese born Nashville acquaintance, we took a city bus from the airport into the city of Narita since Tokyo was really too far for us to visit given the time we had. Narita gave us a very good taste of Japanese culture. We exited the bus at a large complex of Buddhist temples and related buildings built in a park like environment. Great photo op! We ate a traditional Japanese meal at a nearby restaurant and poked around a few shops…including one that makes and sells the multi-layer kimonos that are so beautiful. We loved Japan….so tidy and orderly after the helter-skelter swelter of Indonesia. We caught the bus back to Narita International and had an uneventful, but long (13 hours) flight to Atlanta. Thus ends our travel adventures, but we will continue working on this blogsite to upload many more photos, descriptions and videos. So….stay tuned! A note of thanks to all those who took time to post a comment on this site. Special thanks to all of you who kept the home fires burning and our loved ones taken care of…you know who you are!
