Home Away from Home

This is home for now. For starters, it will be a Spartan existence. All the furniture is on loan from the navy until ours arrives from the States. However, once it does arrive to Yokosuka, it won't be much of a change because we didn't ship much over. Melba and I have grown fond of 'living light' since we first set foot here.

On another note, the maintenance on the base is outstanding, and it's all done by the Japanese. They look like an army of worker ants seeing to everything; from keeping the street side curbs swept clean, to major construction with heavy equipment around the base.

We even have a full-sized washer/dryer combination. Thanks Navy.
