Down for the count

My friend has been fighting off a bad throat infection for the past few days. We had to find our way to a doctor on Sunday so that he could get checked out and get some medication. So we really haven't been up to too much over these past couple of days. I feel bad that his vacation time in Japan is almost up and he has been brought down by a bug.

Yesterday we were supposed to meet up with my contact here in Tokyo and go visit the workshop of a Katana craftsman. My contact was late in arriving and my friend and I left after waiting for more than an hour. We received an apology later and had hoped to reschedule our trip to today but being out in the cold rain yesterday really did my friend in. Hopefully he gets better soon so that he can enjoy his last few days here.
