Pam arrived for her much-anticipated stay with us. Nick went on his own to meet her at Narita, as the landing time conflicted with Emily's lunch and nap. Pam looked remarkably well after 24 hours of travel (including 9 hours spent hanging around at Schipol airport) and felt well enough to go out for a while to the park. It was an incredibly clear day, and very warm even as the sun went down. Emily seemed at ease with Pam quickly, and I think that Skype has a large part to do with that as she is familiar with her face and voice. She (Pam) did ever so well and managed to stay awake until about 8pm.
