Ok, the train to nowhere was all my fault actually. I was pretty psyched cause this weekend was the Kumagaya Festival. A pretty big festival in the neighboring state. Nao's grandma used to live there so we'd always go alot. The festival is really fun, with crowds of people, food stalls, beer girls, and huge floats that are pulled through the streets.
We left Saturday afternoon and thought we'd take a train into town, because parking would have been a nightmare at that time. However, once we got on the train we realized we'd end up paying something like over 30 bucks to get there and back! So we got off the train heading into Kumagaya and went back to the station we got on at. Nao got off to pick up the car. Rose and I stayed on the train and headed to Nao's mom and dad's house. Rose really likes riding on the train so it was fun for her! We ended up hanging out at Nao's folks house for the evening.
Rose gives her version of PEACE! in front of the station.
On Sunday, we headed to Kumagaya for the festival. By car this time!! We got lucky on the parking and found a good spot near Nao's grandma's house. We walked around drinking beer and eating snacks, while watching the floats go past. There were game stalls where you could try and catch fish and turtles, which Nao doesn't let me do anymore. (I mean come on, it's not my fault all five goldfish died the next day last time!!!) We tried to get Rose a gigantic Elmo doll, but sorry I couldn't do it! We got a Stitch note book instead.... Rose got tuckered out from the long day and fell asleep on the car ride back.
