It's a cold and chilly day today, probably the coldest since we've been in Japan. So, this post will focus on the warmer weekend.

On Saturday, the big street near our house hosted the "Dog Festa." It's quite fashionable to have a small dog, dress him/her up, and bring the dog around in a purse (Paris Hilton style) or even in a special stroller. There were stations for dog tricks, best looking dogs, etc. Laurea enjoyed watching the street cleaning staff try to keep up with all of the, err, action.

More Mary's and Russ's cup of tea was the spring tulip festival at nearby Yokohama park, featuring loads of tulips. Very pretty, but a little crowded.
