The view from my hotel room in Sendai
My bike!
Big sumo vs. little sumo!
many many sumo! Including the best in Japan!
Sign reads: Sendai Tanabata matsuri (festival). These are about 15 feet tall each
The ones on the right were my favorite!
3 days of non-stop parades, marching bands and festivities!~
The view from my hotel room in Tokyo!
A word about photos: It is REALLY difficult to post photos on livejournal. It's so complicated and annoying. I also don't like posting to more than one site (time consuming and annoying). So I will be posting most of my photos to facebook from now on. Most of my friends here are on there anyway... but for those of you who aren't - let me know your facebook. If there are a lot of people on here that don't have facebook and don't want to get one, then I might make some photos public. Either way, I will let you now when I upload photos on facebook. Sorry!
