On August 7th Namoi came into Niigata so that we could go to the Niigata Matsuri. She said her grandma was waiting for us so that we could all go together. When we got to her grandma's house she had ukatas (summer kimonos) waiting for for us. She then proceded to help us get dressed. We were then ready to watch the matsuri dance.
Naomi and I ready to dance. When we got to the Bandi bridge to watch the dance Naomi's aunt found us and then dragged us into the street to join the dance. The other ladies in the dance group quickly taught us the dance and together we danced over the bridge.
Naomi and I were so excited to get our picture taken with geishas. Behind us you can see a group of people in purple ukatas. That is the group we danced with-and we stood out like a sore thumb!
(We really enjoyed our ukatas)
