Dear All,

Having a lovely 4 days here - no wonder the Jamiesons* stayed 9 years.  The people are delightful, also food, restaurants, souvenirs, trains, hostels - and the baths!  I could write a book about the latter.  We stayed on an old liner in Yokohama Harbour first night, former Olympic Village in Tokyo last night ( the bath was 15 feet by 10 feet and 110c.)  and a Japanese rush matted room tonight.  The Warden looks like an ex-Sumo wrestler, and the next-door neighbour is singing in the bath.  Have a letter in Carmel for us by July 12.

Love P & D
