First Touring Day

After an insanely long plane ride, we finally made it to Japan.  Aside from the jet lag, we were completely fine.  Fine, that is, except for the heat and humidity.  It is hard to breathe, and the sweat comes in rivers.

It is all worth it, though.  The food is great, the people are nice, and the sights are breath-taking.  Here are some highlights:


We stood around at the Narita, Japan airport. 

 

  

 



We arrived and crashed at our new hotel.

We had sacrament meeting in the nearest park.

We explored the Edo Tokyo museum.

 

 

We visited the tomb of the unknown soldier.  The tomb is for an American soldier who was helped in his last hours by a Japanese soldier who chose to be a good Samaritan.

We tried squid and saw an aquarium.

We nick-named our tour guide Professor Yasu.

We drove through Tokyo's longest tunnel.

We learned that literally everyone in Japan uses the peace sign in pictures.  Literally.

It was a great day!  We are looking forward to tomorrow!
