we made it!!

Here we are, 3 Art teachers from NY, ready to leave SF.
One loooonggg flight later - we are here. A quick (like 3 minute) moment to drop off our bags and then out to dinner with our volunteer student guides. Natsuno (pictured left) is studying media, has traveled all over the world and was just lovely. Our hotel is right in the middle of the Shinjuku district, (see sidebar) which, for those of you who are interested, is the area of Tokyo from which Ridley Scott got his inspiration for Blade Runner. (<-this is a link)Needless to say, there is an energy here that pulses!
