TOKYO, April 1 -- Greetings to everyone.
This is coming to you from the the other side of the International Dateline, in the Delta Airlines Lounge at the Tokyo Airport. We have just one hour before we board our flight to Seattle. I may post another blog or two in the next few days, or maybe not. There's a lot to do stateside. But I wanted to take a moment to share some photos which most of you haven't seen yet. The quality isn't great -- some were shot through windshields or at the brightest, hottest part of the day. Most of these will come without comment. They speak for themselves. Or, you can invent your own commentary.
Love,
Robert
