Finally a quiet moment when we have stopped moving long enough to write a few quick things.
We hit the ground running and haven't stopped, enjoyed a great day reunited with Jessica. We had a great time as she showed us her University, her favorite neighborhoods, shopping and resturants.
The next day we had a day I will just call the "Great train adventure day". Due to the type of train passes we purchased we had to travel 12 hours on 8 different trains to arrive exhausted in Takayama in the snow. We made the most of people watching and had lots of lessons in culture on our travels. Despite the tight connections between trains (less then 3 minutes in some cases) we made every one..sometimes with the door closing on our backpacks!!
We have really enjoyed our time in Takayama. Beautiful town full of history, traditional style wooden house neighborhoods, great eating and great shopping!! The snow has been really pretty, too bad there was no room in our backpacks for parkas and boots!! Brrr...!
We are off again tomorrow, we will split the trip back to Tokyo into two days and get back on Tuesday night after seeing some sights along the way.
