Sunday

We went to Tokyo-Narita airport on Sunday, and spent the night at the Hilton Hotel. Our original plan was to go into Tokyo that night, but it was an hour away by train, and we were all pretty beat, so we decided to go into the town nearby, called Narita.

It was a neat little town, and you'll see the pictures of it. Everything in Japan, or in Narita I should say, seems like it's a bit smaller than in the U.S. Interestingly the people in Narita, whom we had assumed would speak English, didn't seem willing to do so, if they knew it at all.

We had dinner at a restaurant where we ate various dishes, including raw horse meat. That was good.

That wrapped up the trip, for the most part, and we headed home Monday. I wrote most of the blog entries posted today on the plane from Tokyo to Dulles and updated some at lunch.

Here are the last pics, and stay tuned for more pictures from classmates:
