七夕 ー ＧｏＧｏ！

So... Today was Tanabata...  The festival celebrates the meeting of two lovers, Princess Orihime  (Vega) and Hikoboshi  (Altair) who, by order of Orihime's father,  are only able to meet once a year..  More here  ..

I when out with some new found friends and had a few drinks at the Shrine.  Then we were able to go in side one of the shrines and one of my friend's friend played a Taiko Drum and did a quick prayer.... Its been along time since I've been in a Japanese Shrine......  Last time, has to be in Morioka's Hachimangu.....  That was when I was running around doing Mikoshi ( (神輿 ) 

Anywho... The pictures can do the rest.....


Oh yea.... I need to finish one of my papers pretty soon...... Ack!!!
