A Foreign Experience

Larissa anxiously waiting for Atilano and Melba at the train station
Well, I started the weekend with a nervous stomach. Melba and I talked Thursday evening and she assured me they would be fine on their train adventure towards Yokota AB. She said, if we could do it in Italy, we can do it anywhere. I had my doubts given the fact that they had never used the train system before and could not speak a word of Japanese, but I new Atilano was a bright man and that one way or another they would be fine. At around 9:30am Melba call that they are one stop away from Fussa, so we head out to the train station and wait patiently. A few minutes later my cell phone rings that they are at a train station we are not familar with. Rene and I head back to the house where we have our train map. It turns out they are way off course. My husband did such a great job guiding them into Fussa and they did finally get here. Today we went out to Mitake and did some sightseeing. Tomorrow they head back to Yokosuka with some better directions.
