Productive last day at amagi.. began wiht a 5 mile run up and dwown the moutnain road with Luis and CHristian.. then all day of meetings. with a short brake for lunch and one hole of golf on the cute little green out back…

By the time we got back on the bus for the 35 hour drive back to tokyo we wwere all pretty exhausted.. we hijacked the bus to stop at a convienince stor for ‘supplies’ (lots of beer and dried squid to eat).. it was quite a feeding frenzy in the store with Rolf and Tuji-san leading the check out..

 

 

 

 

 

it was a pretty well stocked sore. They even carried ‘Vermont Curry;.. a pupular dish in Japan.. no one knows why it’s called ‘vermont curry’ thoguh.. it does have pictures of apples on it.. go figure.

 

We made one smore sop on the way home at a rest stop that had the largest , most complex codfffe vending machine the world has ever seen !

 

We got to the hotel about 9:30,  a nice older place…

 

we quickly checked in then Simon, Ben and I waleled over to a suchi place in the bus station across from the hotel that those guys know well.. You gotta love a place where even the bus station sushi is better than our best suchi bars at home..

 

 

we were swapping food stories when ben, who lives in china. whipped out his phone and showed us the duck beak sup he’d had a clients cafeteria the other day..

 

dinner was great and quick..

 

then back through the empty bus station to teh hotelll

 

for a few more hours of work meetings.. .. these have been some long days.. but overall .. a very good trip

 

OK.. more form the road tomorrow,  thanks for everything Japan.

nite all, nite sam
