TOKYO

From the charming rusticity of Mongolia, we came to super-efficient Japan. Our son, Gordon, and his girlfriend, Aya, live in Tokyo. This is the view from their lovely apartment on the 45th floor of Harumi View Towers.

We were happy to be able to attend the Tokyo temple one day.

Tokyo is a modern, busy city, but it does have areas that evoke the feeling of old Japan.
This is in a garden in Akasuka, one such area of Tokyo.

Gordon and Aya pose in front of a Buddhist temple in Akasuka. We had such fun being with them. Aya is a marvelous cook and we enjoyed many a fine meal at their table.

And of course, we went to Tokyo Disneyland.

We didn't have enough time in Japan to do more than visit Gordon and Aya in Tokyo. The Japanese people are gracious and reliable. Since this was our last stop on our amended itinerary, we were glad to be able to spend it with family, as it eased our transition home.
