General feel good post....

Now, we know that that all of our regular readers will remember this first photo...

Yes, that's right that and the following photos are from when Matt came over to visit us and we traveled over to Tokyo to see the Red Sox opening series against the A's.

These pictures were taken at a small little sushi restaurant that Matt found near the stadium, the lower one was from the first night we were there and the first photo is actually from when we returned the following night before game two.

The owner was so nice to us the first night, coming over to talk and show off his photo album, that we printed out a copy of the photo from the first night and presented it to him when we returned. He enjoyed it and we ended up taking the second photo of him and his wife in front of their restaurant. We gave him our cards so that he could e-mail us and we could send off the photos from that second night...

Ok, so it's now a month later and today this is sitting in our mailbox.



This confused me - as nobody we know would be able to write out our address, but upon flipping it over we see that it was mailed from Tokyo.

Yes, it was from the owner of the restaurant, he had simply taken the address from one of the business cards that we had handed him. Enclosed was the following letter from him -


We hope you can read that, if not it basically is saying thanks for the picture and for stopping by. He then included three of his own photos of the cherry blossoms for us to enjoy.
Isn't that just the most amazing thing somebody could do?
