One picture - Traditional Japanese Kimono and Hakama
I don't really have much time, because I have to pack still, and then get on a plane to go to Morocco for a conference, but I wanted to make a quick note of things. Yesterday I married L., and for the past week my family has been in Japan. We went out to an amazing Kaiseki Japanese feast (11 courses!) and for the occasion - the first time that both families met - Alana, Jana, Grandma Bessie, myself, and L. were in traditional Japanese Kimono (or for me, the Hakama.) The only pictures I have are blurry (dad doesn't know much about cameras!) but here is one with Alana, L., Jana, and I.Comments

I don't know the first thing about Hakama, but I dug it. I could never get my decorative clasp to point the right way (straight) but otherwise it was really great (if constricting after a few hours + dinner.)
Huh, our picture is on their website now - crazy! They really, really were happy that my 88 year old grandma wore a kimono (first time in Japan too!)
