Katy got back from her trip with the Yonenaga’s to Japan. It sounds like it was better than we could have imagined. She got to spend some time in Tokyo as well as various other places. She got to experience lots of real Japanese culture with Jenna and her extended family. She dressed up as a Maiko (with the white face and everything). She got to stay in authentic Japanese hotels and homes. She ended up in Iwakuni where her Papa Jesse was stationed 40 years ago. Here are his pictures. I know that Katy saw some of the same things on her trip.
UPDATE: More pictures are here.

Hello Katy,
It was nice to see the pictures from trip. It brought back fond memories.
Viv, David, Zack and I lived directly across the street from Tokyo Tower
(Shiba-Koen, Minato-ku).

Loved the Maiko pictures, Katy! Wish I could have done that when we were there! You covered lots of ground, seeing Kiyomizadera in Kyoto and all over Tokyo! I see that you made some new friends – did they stop you on the street to touch your hair? (That happened to David almost daily!). I would love to hear your stories. -Vivian
