My body is back in Japan after a month<\/span> in\nOhio<\/a> visiting my folks with Anthony. Unlike my trip out, my luggage did\narrive with me, though I seem<\/span> to have lost my brain somewhere during the\n22-hour trip.<\/p>\n\n

We came through Tokyo Narita on Sunday evening. During the flight back\nout, I was surprised<\/span> to notice how stratified the clouds were: as we\nascended, we would pop through a layer<\/span> of cloud to find clear air, but\nanother layer above. I took the<\/span> photo above while in the second such\n“sandwiched zone”.<\/p>\n\n

10 minutes later we were a mile higher and passing Mt. Fuji, though I'm\nsure I was<\/span> the only passenger that noticed, since it wasn't more than a\nbump<\/span> in the clouds...<\/p>\n\n

It wasn't much of a view, but it was better than the one we had going\nout. For whatever<\/span> reason, we passed much further away on that trip...<\/p>\n\n\n

I'm glad we came in on Sunday, because Tokyo got slammed by a powerful<\/span>\ntyphoon on Monday, grounding 60 flights.<\/p>\n\n

For reference, here's a point<\/span>-n-shoot photo of Mt.\nFuji<\/a> taken from a speeding<\/span> train. During our flight in last year, we didn't see Mt. Fuji,\nbut did have a photogenic<\/span> surprise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
