finally. after 17 hours of flying. and 6 hours at various airports.

flight #1 wasn’t the best — sfo to narita. in choosing seats for the flight, i forgot to account for the sun. see, in flying west the daytime creeps by awful slow. and the left side of the plane gets the sun the whole time. this means that even though the handy trip-display told me that it was negative fifty-something degrees outside, the sunshine made sure that my window was toasty hot. and made sure i woke up every fifteen minutes in a serious sweat. awesome.

but… no big deal. we got here. and our room/box has ice cold AC. and that was yesterday. we made a couple of journeys into the city today. just walked around and checked it out.

here we are getting some snacks. don’t i look ecstatic? ice cream snacks. they’ve got soursop shakes over here. delish. i had them a bunch in costa rica — they call it guayabana there — but i could never figure out what fruit it was. my cousin finally clued me in. she said soursop and it all came together. a moment of revelation.
