After a good sleep in a wonderfully air-conditioned room and a yummy breakfast provided by the hotel, Mike, Sylvia and I headed off by taxi to a Narita City mall for... yes, Starbucks! and some last minute shopping and a bite of lunch. We were at the airport by 3:00pm, and winging our way back to Seattle by 5:30pm (Japan time).

We arrived safe and sound at SeaTac at 10:30am (Seattle time) after an 8 and a half hour flight across the Pacific ocean and the dateline. We already had a 10:30am at Narita City; it's weird to do that time jump...
Gordon is staying in Tokyo for a few extra days to do some Microsoft work from there, and will return this weekend.
This has been a great trip with a great team. And serving along the Gilberts is always a special opportunity. We asked ourselves, When will we return to Ishinomaki and Onagawa? God knows, and we'll leave it in his hands. Meanwhile, part of our hearts are welded to the people and places we've just visited, and we pray for continued healing and hope.
So great to keep up with these chronicles. Thanks for the pictures and the notes.
