More adventures

Our hotel managed to find us a room for the night and one with internet.  We are not sure what we will do next.  Many people are now leaving Tokyo for the south. As a result, hotels are very expensive and quite costly (chotto takai). We spent double for tonight's room what we paid for the nights before.  We thought to go ahead and leave Japan for a week or so until we see what's going to happen. But, the flights are essentially full.  So, we might mosey on south of Kyoto tomorrow. We don't know yet. But, for today our magic jack phone is working and we have internet. I am hoping to do some grading tonight.  I am woefully behind!  Sam is very nervous and as a result is more than a handful to deal with.  Perhaps that is the most nerve-wracking part of this whole experience, trying to keep a slightly spoiled and exceedingly nervous 8 year old entertained as we also try to make tough decisions and look for internet cafes.  The adults are tired.
