Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I'M BAAAAAAAACK!!!

So as most of you know, I went to Japan for a week and a half for an international swim meet.  It was really fun!  Some of my teammates got in the top 8 in their age groups, and one of my friends even got second!  As a team, we got 8th overall, and that's really good, considering there were about 60 teams there.  The rest of the days we spent as a team, we toured around popular areas.  On Thursday, most of the team went back home.  My family spent two extra days there.  We were planning on going to Tokyo Sky Tree, but we didn't want to wait in line for 4 hours.  I arrived here at around 9:40 a. m. west coast time after a five-hour flight to a layover in Hong Kong, then taking a 12-hour flight to the U. S.  Overall, it's an AMAZING place!  I really didn't want to leave.  I think I cried for a total of four hours, and maybe a little more while we were at home.
