I was able to spend time with Fumika's friends. At the Bon Dori Festival, they were giving out free grapefruit popcicles! Yum!
I got to wear a Yukata to the Bon Dori Festival.
I ate the biggest mess of cotton candy ever created...
can you say 'refined sugar'? ：）
I went to a place in Nagoya to learn about the ancient art of traditional Japanese tie dye-Shibori.
the Kanematsu Family held a party in their home to welcome me to Nagoya

Looks like you are eating a giant dust speck from Horton Hears a Who. Raised my glycemic level just looking at it.
Loved seeing the photos.
Great to see you and the family you are visiting. We'll have to have a shibori demo when you return. I see that Fumika has a large extended family too. Keep adapting! Love, Grandmother
I used to eat a lot of cotton candy we even bought a machine to make it when your Dad was young. Now I like popcorn better, specialy when you help pop it. Nana and I are leaving today, I will try to check your blog as often as possible.
Lov Ya, Papa
Yummy sugar, one of mine and Gigi's favorites!! Love ya, nana

Upon CLOSER examination, I spied the scrapbook!
I spied the scrapbook and a black 4-H drawstring bag.
FUN!
The photo of you with the grapfruit popsicles held my attention for a long time. I will tell you more upon your return.
I can't wait to show the kids the pic of the cotton candy!!!!! My teeth are stuck together just imagining it.
Have a fabulous two more weeks!
Love,
Patty
Ate the whole thing? You are a stronger girl than I. xD

I want to tell you that Lightning McQueen likes cotton candy. Tell Tomo I need a hug. Will she give me one to you? I think Mater and Mack are with Japan cotton candy, too. - Sawyer
What did the cotton candy taste like? Was the tie-dye fun? Do you like Japan? - Kelly Mae
I love you. No one is babysitting us while you are gone. I will be your friend forever because I love you. Please get me a Japan America doll. I know they have them because they have American girl dolls here. But mom says they don't and if they did have them because I think they do, I cannot have one. I got your letter. I liked it. I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you (all sung as a sweet song) I love you I love you I love. That's all. - Rebekah Anne
