The Drive Home



We decide to take the drive home from Tokyo a little easier than the drive to with a few stop offs on the way. We where able to stop in a City about 2 hours drive outside of Tokyo called Nikko, it's a very old Buddist town founded over 7000 years ago that contains 100's of shrines. It is very beautful but close to the mountains so there where lots of steps to climb and it was also very cold. We spent about 3 hours wandering around and then drove on to Sendai the half way point, we stopped off here, had dinner and did a little shopping. Sendai has an amazing shopping district that I hope to see again soon. We arrived back to Misawa at about 2230 hrs and all managed to make our way back to bed. I would like to thank my family, my brother Paul and Albert and Mary Lou for making thos such an enjoyable vacation
