We lived in Yokohama for a year and then in Tokyo from 1992 until we left in 1995 for Washington, for language training in preparation for a posting to Turkey. I had taken a lot of film pictures during our years in Tokyo, and know I scanned some of them, but for the life of me can’t find them anywhere in the world (and I mean that literally!). But upon seeing Bill Miller’s excellent captures of Tokyo, which brought back some great memories, I began searching my old files to see if I had anything, and found some pictures I had taken when we were posted to Okinawa from 2000 to 2003. I remember one of the trips to Tokyo quite well, to see old friends and haunts, because I managed to contract pneumonia there, being used to the hot climate in Okinawa and having nothing warm to wear up north.

Anyway, these are some pictures from the trips in 2001 and 2002, taken with my first digital camera. They’re not remarkable, but a nice memory of four years of our lives.
