The largest news story in Japan last week was the stranding and subsequent rescue of a stray dog from a concrete reinforcement wall protecting against landslides. This distraction allowed me to slip in and out of the country unnoticed as I celebrated Thanksgiving in and around Tokyo with John, the Bedwells, and special one-night guest Grant.
As opposed to my previous trip to Japan in 2003, this photo set is short on length and long on brevity.
