Happy Spring! It was a very happy Spring for Jed and I this past weekend. I had only talked to Jed about once a week since I dropped him off at his squadron at 0600 Saturday, March 11. Most of the squadron came back last week but Jed was one of 2 officers chosen to go to the mainland to test a repaired helicoptor. Soo... he couldn't come to me, so I purhcased a last-minute ticket to Tokyo to see him. I travelled out there with the other officer's wife and the four of us toured Tokyo together. What an eye-ful it was!

One of several memorials to the victims of the A-bomb. The flame originated amongst the ash of a survivor's home. 

A 17th-Century temple... Also surrounded by gorgeous Cherr Blossoms! 

The surroundings of Ueno Park in Northern Tokyo. We had dinner at a "sushi-go-round" along this street.  

Ueno Park in Northern Tokyo. The many paths were lined with Cherry Blossom trees in full bloom! 

Jed was really excited about having successfully navigated Tokyo's complex subway system. 

Greenery abounded
