Kamakura Kids


In Kamakura we reached, I think, the maximum kid count of any spot during our trip.

There were kids in all the temples, kids at the money-washing shrine, and kids running up and down the trail.

There were even kids with questionnaires, wanting to know where we came from and if they could take our picture (as part of a school assignment.) They had forms to complete!

The pictures from Japan are wonderful. Could tell you this on every posting, but too repetitious..

The kids were from Kamakura! Or thereabouts. They had their questions for us written in Japanese katakana syllables (used for English words) but were having a hard time pronouncing the words correctly. Luckily, with my limited Japanese we were able to communicate . . . thus demonstrating that my Japanese is grade school level (actually much lower.)
