As many of you know, I participated in a month and a half long Iris Festival here in Itako. Well, I am happy to say I can finally step down as princess and go back to my normal life here in Japan. The paparazzis will need to put away their cameras until next year when the princesses will come out again. Many people have asked me about next year and I will not do it again. Especially since it was a volunteer job. If there was money involved I would perhaps give it a second thought. June 27 & June 28th were the final days of the festival. Those two days were a blast - in the evenings at least! During the days we did our typical routines. On Saturday Sapana, the Iris daughter from Nepal, had invited Aya and I over to make dinner at her house in Ushibori with her son and her husband. I went home after the festival to change clothes and meet them. We had a blast! We made homemade curry, nepalese chips, okonomiyaki, and watermelon! The most fun part was cooking and talking together. We are connected through Japanese and a little bit of English. It was great going back and forth between the languages as I normally do on a day to day basis! So here are some fun pictures for you!!
