Happy New Year!

I did have a happy day after Christmas here in Japan.  It Snowed!!

I went to Nagasaki, you would never know there had been an "A-Bomb".   The train ride up there was the best.  The country side is magnificent!!! No pictures could do it justice, but I took some.  We're heading back to the line tomorrow so I'll start taping again then.  I received the school paper and letter today 3JAN.  Mail is still a little slow.

This chapter is all down hill now, 4 more months and I'll be home!  K was glad to hear that you all are going to come out.  I just know you will get a really big kick out of seeing the ship pull in.  I know I will - Ha! Ha!

Must Run,

 

Mike
