Your words about Japan created a longing to return to the land I called "Home" for a few years in the 1960's. I fondly remember traveling by train (always) from Yokohama to Tokyo to shop, dine, and one night to see the new movie, The Graduate. We traveled to Kyoto, Kamakura, to see the Great Buddha, Sapporo for skiing and where I broke my leg on a slope and spent two days hobbling around on a crutch with all assuring me I had just sprained my ankle...the train ride back to Yokohama is a whole story in itself. A Navy doctor finally gave me the news I already knew...I had a broken leg. Still and all, I cried when we left Japan. I now feel and hear the call to return. Thanks for your stories, Doug! Happy New Year!
