Tokyo　着きました!

We just arrived in Tokyo for our four month adventure.  (We passed over Alaska on the way – see photo.)  We’re experimenting with this blog to see if this is a good way to keep friends and family up to date.

First news:  There is a Starbucks 100 yards away from our apartment.  We managed to order in Japanese.  Of course our waitress wanted to talk  back to us in English.

The apartment, at the Oakwood Apartments in Aoyama, is great.  Well-equipped and surprisingly spacious.  We’ll post photos soon.

This afternoon, we will be visiting the Naganuma School, where we will be taking Japanese lessons during our stay.
