In the morning I walked to the Saturday market, bought some apricots and bread. Spent a little time editing a couple more chapters of Joyce’s book. Practiced a little music. Had a pastry from the market for lunch.
At 2:30 I met with Joanne and we drove down to the Obon festival in San Jose. This is a big annual street fair in Japantown. Marian and I went to one probably 10 years ago and I remember it has having several cultural exhibits, flower arranging and such. This time not so much, it seemed to be all about food and drink, nothing else. Also crowded and hot. However we stuck it out to 4:30 when San Jose Taiko performed and that was good. Joanne had only a vague idea of Taiko drumming and was pleasantly impressed. So we made our way back home just in time for dinner.
