Takashi has arrived home in California.

  America seems to be very near from Japan because Takashi left Japan at 5:00 p.m. yesterday evening, and before we got up this morning, he had arrived at San Jose. He mailed  early this morning saying he had arrived safely.
 I went out for a walk as far as Kawazoe. I felt tired because I hadn't walked as much as a week before.
 In the afternoon, Takashi and Sachiyo called us on Skype. We saw their faces on the screen the same as we we often had seen before Takashi came to stay with us last week.
 In the evening, I watched two soccer games - a men's qualifying game for the World Cup in Brazil between Samurai Japan and the Uzbekistan national team, and a women's game between Nadeshiko Japan and the Norwegian national team. Samurai Japan was defeated by Uzubekistan by 0-1, and Nadeshiko won by 2-1.
