The ship rolled a lot last night and a little past one o’clock, during a most pronounced sideways lurch, the water tray slid off the bureau and a glass shattered. I cleaned it up then, and couldn’t get back to sleep for a long time. At least I awoke in time to grab a muffin and report to the Theatre by seven-fifteen and was on my way well before eight. Our bus took us across numerous bridges, along freeways to three major stops. Maji Temple Shinto Shrine, Edo Castle and most wonderful Japanese lunch prepared at our table, then the Akasuka Temple and shopping stalls. We were back by three-thirty, and fairly promptly the ship was pulled away from the dock, turned around and headed out of the harbor under the beautiful new suspension bridge. I fell asleep.
