The Two Lasts

School for Melba let out at two this afternoon. I picked her up and we headed up Highway 16 to Yokota Air Force Base. We are spending Thanksgiving with Ronda and her family. This trip is also the last time I will drive in Japan. The car goes to new owners and we're taking the train back to Yokosuka on Sunday.

This weekend also marks the last time we will take an excursion to explore more of Japan. Along with the Saenz' on Friday we are taking the train into Tokyo to catch the bullet train to Kyoto for a day of sightseeing. On Saturday we board the bullet train once more and head further down country to visit Hiroshima. Then it's back to Yokosuka on Sunday via Tokyo.

Anywhere you are Thanksgiving is a wonderful time in the Fall and I wish we were back home in South Texas with all our friends and family. Thank God we have Ronda, Rene, Renie and Larissa to count our blessings with way over here a través del Pacifico.
