Trouble in Kanazawa

The trouble had, of course, started long before Dad got into town. It probably started with me thinking he would roll into Japan on the 18th... well he left the 18th and was supposed to arrive the 19th. But there was trouble from his first departure where he was delayed for 8 hours, thus he arrived on the 20th- a mere 36 hours later.

When he rolled off the plane, we promptly took him home so he could clean up and feel somewhat better. Then we hit a little sushi place, walked around my school and my neighborhood, went downtown, saw some live jazz being performed, hit the famous garden in Kanazawa, went to a light show, and a shrine all in the same area.

The first day was a precursor of what was to come! On the 21st, we hit the road and ran around for 6 days! Dad was a trooper!

Yep, trouble in Kanazawa- my old man. ;)
