It's D for Departure Day ... or perhaps it's R for Return Day ... We're packed and will checkout of the hotel shortly. We take an airport limousine bus at noon for late afternoon flights from Narita.
We've had two rambles around Tokyo at night, with Blair; dinner with my mother's cousin's grandson and his family; explored two highend shopping and entertainment complexes, both within walking distance of our hotel; seen a beautiful exhibition of Noh costumes and masks, found a few gardens, a very fine park, stared down at the city from a tower, and stared out/up at it from a cruise on the Sumida River. In short, we've passed through ... have hardly glimpsed Tokyo, hardly have a sense of it. But it fills our heads and will resonate I'm sure over the next few months, as we look back through images that float into mind and photos, like these below.
