Japan Adventure

Authentic & elaborate Carnaval costumes at the Spain exhibit.


We've moved inside a nearby department store since now it's really blowing & raining hard. Think we'll pass on the castle today. Inside, Autumn leaves decorate this area.


Looking out a large window from the coffee shop area in the store.


Looking outside at a Japanese paper & bamboo parasol. Don't know how much longer it will remain out in this weather (although it's under a covered area).


Look at all the beautiful colors underneath! I saw a show on TV the other day featuring these Japanese parasols. They have been made the same way by the same family business for centuries!
