Alissa and I danced in the Obon Japanese festival on July 13, 2013. We have been practicing the dances for the last three weeks. We have made many new friends and had a wonderful time at the practices and the festival. Here are some pictures:

There was a great deal of worry that the festival would be rained out. At 5:30 p.m., the rain was pouring down and many people were drenched. Most of the guests were huddled inside the Buddhist Temple trying to escape the rain. It was crazy. Amazingly, the sky cleared up around 6:45 p.m. just in time for the Taiko Drum exhibition that started at 7:00 p.m.
