It’s perfectly paced, and there were times when you could pause and explore the spots she covered more in-depth.

An unexpected, touching experience

I know my grandparents, my father (he was 6) and his younger brother lived in San Francisco before they were interned, first at Tanforan horse track and then Topaz, Utah. I know Japantown is no where near as large as it was before WWII so the odds that I walked anywhere where my grandparents would have are slim, save perhaps the gate next to the Japanese Language School. Apparently through this gate was a location where Japanese reported for internment. I couldn't help but wonder if this was the one place where my family also stood those many decades ago. The author/narrator of the two did an excellent job. All of the sites she spoke about are still in existence. It was almost surreal to be standing in so many places of history, surrounded by many people who were oblivious as to the life and lives that preceded their own presence. This tour was fascinating. I highly recommend it for anyone.
