We ventured downtown again last night to see more matsuri floats. It hardly seems possible, but there were even more people last night than the night before. The grand parade is tomorrow morning, and we're hoping to be able to see some of it, depending on how the baby feels about getting up early and dealing with crowds, heat, etc. The whole town is buzzing with festival fever--even our neighborhood grocery store is piping in recordings of the gongs, flutes, and bells that consistute the float music. Everywhere you look in the evening, you see people dressed in beautiful yukata. J wore his yukata onesie last night, and looked quite fashionable.
Here are some pictures, including one of S partaking in a festival tradition--buying a draft beer to sip while strolling. With this beer came some weird little fishy crackers. I, on the other hand, opted for a chocolate covered banana and some delicious sweet potato fries. Ah, a night at the fair.
