Home Again Home Again

For our last day in Tokyo, we headed to one of the main train stations to do some final souvenir shopping.  Our tracking skills were still a bit off and we had trouble finding the markets.  After wandering through the Shrine Accessories shopping streets (we did see some miniature orange torii gates…), we finally found the markets.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time left, so we found a restaurant and had our last Japanese-style meal before heading back.

With our luggage in tow, we wove our way through the transportation system one last time.  Two subway trains and 2 express trains later we arrived at the airport.

Our return trip included an overnight stopover in Texas.  And it’s true; they really do “Go Big” there…

Our final flight home was without incident.  There was no inclement weather to impede our return and, in fact, both of our flights got in early.

Now home, we look forward to the rest of our summer spending time with friends and family and sharing stories about our adventure in Japan (after we get some sleep…). 

Thanks for joining us as we shared some of the highlights.
