Day 73 - SFO

---

During my morning walk I covered the entire strip of the village. Walked upto the Hakone park and back. Left at 10.30 and went to Villa Montalvo with Ramu and Anika. After this went home, picked up Sangeetha and went to Hakone, a Japanese Garden. Sridhar picked us up after lunch and dropped us in the airport for the 4.45pm Emirates flight to Dubai.
