Home from Tokyo

This afternoon I arrived home from a four-day trip to Tokyo. It was good to be back in my "second home" although strange not to have access to our condo there (since we rented it from last summer). I stayed at a hotel in Kyobashi this time and lots of outings to familar neighborhoods

I wish there had been more time to catch up with many friends. I walked through our old neighborhood and relived many memories. While still fresh in my memory, the journeys served to remind me that Tokyo is in my past. My home is now Vancouver.

On Sunday afternoon I stopped by the Chinzan-so Gardens and the former Four Seasons Hotel where I started my life in Japan more than 25 years ago. And where I met Yoshiko. The place was busy as always with weddings and looks as good as the day I walked into it.
