Kakigori

Took fancy pants to the Tanabata festival in the next city across on the train. This is her in her yukata choosing which syrups to put on her snow cone thingy which is called Kakigori.

If I'd gone on my own I could have easily run off a couple of hundred shots. Even with balloons and things to carry I got a bunch of shots that I like and could have been today's blip.

If you want to see more Tanabata festival madness you could google it, type it into wikipedia, do a Flickr search or just take a look at what I've plonked in my photostream here along with a couple of other shots when I was tinkering this morning.
