6-15-08

Today we took the bullet train north to the prefecture (state) of Miyagi. We went to Sendai city, where we will spend the night. We got here around 2 PM, took the loop bus around, walked a bunch, and headed to the hotel for a night of rest! We have been on the go constantly! There is no time for sleeping in JAPAN!
Yesterday morning there was a 7.2 earthquake in Miyagi. The tremors were felt in Tokyo, but I was on a bus to Fuji at that time. DARN!!!!!!!!! Anyway, there were many landslides and aftershocks. So far I haven’t seen or felt any damage or aftershocks. I hoe I feel a mild aftershock though….. we’ll see! We’re hoping the Japanese governemt provides this opportunity for us as well!
