Then it was time to visit Yoko-Oneisan over in Chiba. We rode a bus for a couple of hours, and Thomas abandoned a nap in favor of flirting with a little old lady sitting behind Matthew's seat. Smiling, giggles, peek-a-boo... it was all on. She seemed to have fun, too - after she and her granddaughter got off the bus, they waved to Thomas until we were out of sight. Yoko-Oneisan and her husband picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which was amazing, and included a delicious dinner and buffet breakfast (both traditional Japanese style). In the morning, we had a drive beside the ocean and over to their house, where we met her mother and their cat! Mr. Otaka and Thomas got on like a house on fire. Thomas loved the sliding doors and sat for a long time opening and closing them. Then the two "boys" had a tour of the garden, where again Thomas made no objection to being picked up and carried out of sight. Was it another case of "imposter" family? We may never know.
