Story of the Japan Adventure

Pouring rain, Scott being sick, and Monday being museum closed day combined to make this a stay in the room and watch old Samurai movies and Westerns day. We did try to get to the Art Gallery, Castle and Park - but the rain kept getting worse (despite predictions it would go away) and both the gallery and castle were closed (gallery for weeks, castle for the day due to a private function).

Hotel Granvia, Okayama has no broadband connectivity and we can never get through to any of AOL's many Japanese points of presence for dialup. We talked to the hotel, and they are getting broadband, but on the 1st of April.
