For the first time in eight years (where does the time go??) I visited St. Andrews, New Brunswick, where my grandparents live. It's a beautiful seaside resort town on the Passamaquoddy Bay.
My very last day in Tokyo. In-between bouts of packing I went to the nearby Shrine of Literature to visit their plum blossom festival. The plum blossoms were just blooming a year before when I had arrived.
The fourth batch of photos from my mom's visit. We finished with a daytrip to Nikko, famous mountain tourist spot and home of Tokugawa Ieyasu (the first Tokugawa shogun)'s tomb.
The third batch of photos from my mom's visit. Near the end of her trip we were lucky enough to attend a one-day sumo tournament in Ryogoku, just across the Sumida river from our home base in Asakusa. It was another highlight of my stay.
