Ebina - December 1 2014

In Ebina we visited the Japan Branch Office of Jehovah's Witnesses.  We took a ride on the Shinkansen, two other trains, and taxi cab to arrive there but we made it.  There we were met by Akiko and Yoshiko.  It was a great tour.

Lunch at the Branch Office.  Great new friends we met plus Akiko and Yoshiko.

I've seen folded towels on a cruise ship that were cute, but these are just a whole other level.
