Dragon fight, at the Kappa Festival at Komaki’s resort, near Misawa. The blue dragon won.

A parade down Green Pole Road, Misawa, Japan. Every block, we’d set down the float and run around it in a circle. I don’t remember why.

At the top of Mt. Fuji. A very long walk up, and almost-as-long, and very slippery, walk back down.

Hirosaki Ice Festival.
