Powhatan Leaves San Francisco for Panama

Today, the Japanese have finished their final preparations and are ready to leave on the USS Powhatan. After spending time in the city and getting all of their business done here, they are headed towards their next destination, Panama. During their stay in the city, they have learned a lot about the way we do things. In return, we got to learn about the Japanese culture and tradition. I escorted them to the ship and we exchanged our goodbyes. They were very thankful for our hospitality and we were happy to help. Even though they had just left, a part of me misses having them around. I will never forget this wonderful experience.
