Azabu-juban

We were busy bees on Saturday. After friendship day, we took a break from the heat and cooled off inside before heading out again. This time we headed over to the annual Azabu-juban festival. This the epitome of Japanese festivals = extremely crowded with people. This particular festival is all about the street booths that sell various things, including a nice array of international dishes.

We made it through one of the streets, and after about 30 minutes were finally able to get a drink at one of the stalls. Then we stopped to hear the drums. It was SOOOOO crowded that I couldn't take it anymore. We stayed for a total of an hour and called it quits, which was the smart thing. Here are few pictures for you too see how crowded it was. The pictures aren't great because short people don't have long arms to get over all the tall people.
