Thanks to all for a magnificent holiday

'We return to Tokyo having totally immersed ourselves in our BC world of lovely friends, fascinating conversations that we understand fully, loving family, magnificent scenery (despite many hazy days from the forest fires!) and peaceful tranquility.

BC, the Kootenays and Kaslo are truly magical places... and we can say this using our "international Tokyo" eyes. 

Thanks to all of you for making our time home so special!
