After being folded up on airplanes for 23 hours, we enjoyed a nice walk with Ted and Nobu in the neighborhood where we visited a local noodle shop for dinner. It was wonderful. We were even able to walk after sitting on little pillows at a table not more than 12 inches from the floor!
Today we went to Kobe to visit Ted's Kappore Dancing group - what a beautiful and graceful artform. They will be performing October 8 at Bunraku Stage in Nipponbashi. Ted is the first westerner to perform Kappore with this group! After the dancing lesson, we had lunch with the ladies! Wow. Octopus, Sake, Beer. . . again we survived to enjoy another adventure! Tonight a visit with the Shakudo family and an opportunity to meet the new baby! Can't wait to see Gou!
