Omizu Okuri-Water Sending Festival

Here is a picure of me and my friends at a festival. (A few weeks ago, but it's never too late to post). I'm on the
left and next is my friend Fumi, from Japan, my friend Rich, from England (looking rather creepy!) and Paul. The festival is
really old. You carry torches from a temple down to a river and send off holy water to Nara, which performs a festival to receive the water one week later. It was absolutely beautiful, seeing everyone carry torches and then seeing it combined with the element of water.

This one of Rich is really funny too:


Anyway, that's all for now!
