I know it's been a while since my last post.  i returned from Austria with lots of pictures which you can view from my other blog:


In any case, here is a photo I took at the Japanese Society.  That had a very interesting exhibit on weaving with bamboo.

We went to Mitsuwa Marketplace today for the Summer Festival.

The Summer Festival was in full swing when we finally arrived. In fact, two Japanese ladies were in their kimonos got on the bus heading to Mitsuwa. There were people of varied ethnicities enjoying the fair. Children crowded the game stalls especially the stall with the live goldfishes! There was a game that awarded prizes for travel like plane tickets by spinning a wheel. The wheel offered prizes for all participants so there were no losers. It was only $2 to spin the wheel.
