On Saturday Audrey and I were invited to spend the afternoon with our best friends here in Himeji. We had told them that I wanted to learn how to tie an obi so that when Audrey wanted to show off her kimono, I could wrap her up. Well this turned into a fashion show for Audrey. The lady that came over to give us lessons brought a slew of kimonos and dressed Audrey in each of them and had her pose for pictures. She looked so beautiful and had a great time "playing dress up." In between outfit changes we had lunch and enjoyed our afternoon. For those of you who are wondering, I did learn how to tie the obi, now lets just hope I can remember how when we get home. Overall it was a great day with friends.
A couple days later, a couple of Audrey's students invited us to lunch and to play dress up with them as well. Never wanting to turn down tasty Japanese food or a chance to build relationships with our friends/students we jumped at the opportunity. This time it was just one wardrobe change but Audrey rocked that yukata! We had a delicious lunch and great conversation with Audrey's students. Just another example of how blessed we are to have this opportunity to live here in Japan.

Thats right... I tied the obi... I know you are impressed!
Lovers in Japan
