The Ayalas

In Tokyo we stayed with Mateo and Deanna and their little girl Sasha. They used to live just a block away from us in our old neighborhood in Virginia. Mateo's finishing up his language training in Tokyo before going fulltime at the US Embassy for a few years. We hadn't seen them since last August and Sasha's gotten a heckuva lot bigger. We'd always wanted to go to Tokyo, but with Tokyo prices so high there wouldn't have been any way for us to do it without these guys putting us up and showing us around town. Thanks, guys!
