Tokyo June 9, 2009

Dear Captain Billy Bob Joe, my dear nephew,

The voyage from home was rough, however we managed to get to port, but to our despare, the wrong port. We were lucky, however, to find a ship going to the same port as us and guided us there. W were happy to get of the rough water of the Sea of Japan. We docked at Kanazawa, and began our near 200 mile drive to Tokyo as soon as possible. We met Emp Akihito when we were nearly half way there.

The volcano Mount Sakura Jima is still, as it has been for over 92 years now, dorment. The men, As they have for hundreds of years, still look quite like europeans. the landscape, for there is hardly a natural landscape, not quite calm. The exceptionally loud atmosphere of Tokyo is immense. the air is much different from hme in Boston. Its sheer smokeyness fills the lungs with it, and the brain with unhappy thoughts, though I do think I shall bring some happy thoughts home, the air is cleaner there, and i shall love it.
