almost...

I was going to write another post on Roz and Dick's long ago trip to Japan, but I can't.  I can not locate the CDs with the pictures on them.  You see, it's that time.  We're packing up.

Here is our apartment the day we moved in. 

Wow, it looks tiny.

A short while later, with stuff in it...

And later, the "lived-in" condition....

And another angle.....

But now....

and

A sad state of affairs indeed. 

And our once cute and cozy loft?

Now looks more like this...

Surviving several days with half our stuff packed away in suitcases (to be picked up tomorrow morning and delivered to the airport for us!) does mean that we are that much closer to being reunited with family, friends, and the rest of our possessions (and much more room in our house!) in America. 

So for that, we are happy.

Mata ne,
