Kimonos and Samurai- Japan

Samurai, kimonos, sightseeing, fish eating, picture taking this is what great vacations are made from. I happily acclimated to the food, the climate and the crowds.  If you have a guide, host or old college room mate to show you around Japan all the better.  It is my good fortune that I had all three in one person! Thanks!!

The obi is so tight.

We dressed up in kimono.
