Kintai Bridge Lantern Festival 7/24/11

It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and we're crossing the Nishiki River, headed for the Kintai Bridge. This evening is the Kintai Lantern Festival, when people will walk across the bridge with lighted lanterns, which should be a beautiful sight. We're taking our bikes, a small cooler and our camp chairs so we can sit in comfort & relax by the river & watch.

Kintai Bridge area is always busy, but especially today.
