festival season

each night the sky is graced with hanabe, fireworks, and the air smells of tayaki, takoyaki and kakigori. i love it. shannon and i are currently shopping for a yukata, or summer kimono, to wear to all the festival fun. we have "dance" practice tomorrow night because on september 7 we will be a part of shiranuhi's, our local town, matsuri. tonight friends of ours will be dancing in the uto matsuri. so we will venture to the next city to take part in the fun.

with help i have finally learned to play around on blogger, my next goal is to conquer the photos. more to come...

today i had another tea ceremony class. this time shannon joined in on the fun! when we arrived the ladies had yukatas ready. they dressed us and class began.they love hearing about our lives in japan and we enjoy the genuine interest they have in hearing our stories. we hope to get to visit more.

off to pick up shanade at the station!

all my arkansas love! im missing the natural state these days!
