December 16, 2011: When I walked into my hotel room, my jaw dropped. I sat in the window for nearly 30 minutes and watched one of the greatest sunsets I’ve seen this year.  The orange hue in the sky was almost unnatural.  The backdrop of the mountains towering over Tokyo was amazing.  And to the far left of here, the colors were even more vivid. Thankful for the opportunity to take this all in!
