Japan Trip Day 1

We left Utah on Thursday March 5 and flew to Portland.  From there we flew straight to Tokyo, Japan.  We arrived in Tokyo on Friday March 6.  The flight was long, but we did manage to watch about 4 movies each!  We each had our own TV screens and headphones so you could watch whatever you wanted.  I was able to watch Twilight (before it came out on video) and Slumdog Millionaire (which is a really good show, Clark and I both really liked it!  We weren't sure why it was rated R, should have been PG 13).  Anyway, Clark's brother Brad picked us up from the airport and drove us into Tokyo which was about a 2 hour drive with all the traffic and toll roads.  We met his wife Jill at the hotel, and then went to the Tokyo temple for the 7 p.m. session.  We were totally jet lagged and by the time the session started we had been awake for 24 hours!  I only fell asleep once during the session.... okay maybe twice!
The picture is a little blurry but how cool that we went to the Tokyo Temple!  Definitely worth it even though we were tired, and looked like homeless people :)  Oh and clark was sporting his mustache again... he shaved it off when a lady from Brad & Jill's ward mistook him for a Hispanic gentleman!
Technically our first day in Japan wasn't very long, but it was awesome!  By the time I post each day, this one will be at the bottom... Sorry you will have to start at the bottom and work your way up!
