What a wonderful night. I went to Takasaki to have dinner with Yoshiko and her Family, and another family that they are friends with. AL Lthem knew English! I know Yoshiko from ballet class. They also had a lovely dog, I sat on the floor and played with! The men folk, the children and I went to a Obon festival. It was a small one just for that little area. Obon is to honor your ancestors. Everyone was SO joyous! So many people smiled at me! I did three Bon Dances ηθΈγ I had some older ladies come up to me and tell me I did very good! When it was time to leave I had an old man grab my hand and say, I could not leave now, I had to stay and dance! Then we headed back and had WONDERFUL meal.
