This sounds interesting! I would especially like to see the candy maker:) Too bad I live too far away. Maybe someday something like this will come to my area.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Karen
Hi Victoria…This looks pretty interesting. Wish I could have attended. I would have surely bought a kimono or two, as well as few dolls.
Have a nice weekend!
Thanks for dropping by, Karen. 🙂
Rachna, I think it would have been an even longer trip for you. LOL. I'm sure I'll end up buying my daughter a doll and probably more than one piece of candy. ;D I'd really love it if my nephew, Kosuke can join us as he can tell us about what we're seeing.
I want to go….
Dara, if you end up coming, let me know. I'd love to meet you in person and show you around town. For a cattle drive city, we have some nice sight seeing stuff. ;D
