National Foundation Day, February 11-Part 1






February 11th was Foundation Day in Japan.  It a day for Japan to celebrate the formation of the nation and a day for expressing patriotism and love of the nation.  Very similar to our 4th of July celebration.  On this day, we had scheduled to spend the day with Meredith (visiting from Grand Rapids on business for a short stint).  We decided to meet in the Omote-sando area and do some sightseeing.  When we exited the subway station, we walked right into the beginning of a parade.  What a nice surprise!  The day turned out to be full of activity, so I will divide this day into 3 parts.  This first posting will be a portion of the parade.  I have many photos.
