Tokyo

Today we traveled to Tokyo. The plan was a sort walk, a bus ride, a train ride, a bus ride and then we have one more short walk to the Sannyo Hotel. Instead we had a short walk, a bus ride, six or seven train rides, a bus ride and a short walk to this very nice hotel for military and their families. The problem was the train we were supposed to get on was struck by a truck. The train derailed. Yellow fruit spilled all over the tracks. One person died and thirty were injured so we were glad we didn't get on that train. To get around the accident took many trains and a lot more time. We decided to go to a Ramen restaurant. To get there we had to walk by the park by the Metropolitan Central Library which is where I took this picture. After a delicious dinner we walked to a book store inside a shopping center to buy some books written for children. I enjoyed walking back in the dark looking at all the city lights and the people traveling on foot, on bikes, in cars and on buses. Japan feels like a very safe place to me.
