Ark Hills Matsuri アークヒルズの祭り

This is my friend, Eiko-san.  She lives and works in my neighborhood.

こちらは私の友達えいこさん。　彼女は近所に働いて、住んでいます。

See a few more photos from the festival on my homepage:  Matsuri

What else happened this weekend?  Plenty of good family time. Monica was gone ALL DAY Saturday with her Volley Ball team to Yokohama.  Sunday morning was rainy, but then it stopped, so I skated a little.  No good photos, but here's one from last weekend.

Yes, that's Kawahara-san on his skateboard.  I'm always surprised he can keep up with us, but he's pretty good. 

Jonah has been after us to let him roast some marshmallows.  Finally I remembered to buy them when I went to the International Market.  (I don't think there's much call for jumbo marshmallows within the local community, but Nissen had them.  So, after Martin's steaks last night, he finally got his chance.  よかったです。

Kusacchi,
No, I did not dance, but I wanted to. I watched for a long time. It seems like I could just follow the person in front of me, and copy them.
The drum and pipe music make it all flow so gracefully.
I don't know anything about this traditional dancing, but it is fascinating.
ダンスをしなかった、でもしたかった。
長い時間見た、たぶんできます。
これ日本の音楽とダンスを見るは魅惑的なです。
