It hardly seems possible that 10 months have passed since we stepped off the plane on August 14th, 2007. Many cool and interesting things have happened- there were many new "firsts." Language lessons, conquering the metro, new friends, taiko, onsen experience, matsuri, the Women's Group at the American Club, bike riding to the grocery store, walking in the typhoon, museums, shrines, gardens, Mount Fuji, Kabuki, earthquakes, singing the Brahms Requiem, playing for Forum, ate the best sushi in the world, experienced an international school, graduation, traveled to Thailand, swam in phosphorescence, went white water rafting, was a minority...we traveled by train, subway, car, escalator, elevator, shinkansen, bus, taxi, gondola, cable car, sailboat, motorboat, elephant, and jet plane.
And now, weary from visitors and full of expectation and happiness to see old friends, we depart for home tomorrow afternoon. Sayonara, Nippon. Hello New York!
