We've made it to the OMF guest house! It's Tuesday May 15 8:30am here now. Yesterday was our travel day: by plane, train and... lots of walking! From the airport, we took the subway to Ichikawa where the OMF guest house is located. We arrived here at the guest house last night and then went to grab bento boxes of rice and noodles and seaweed wraps at a local convenience store. After we wrapped up for the very long day, we hit the sheets for a good rest. As we write this, we're all just finishing up breakfast, about to do devotions!
