This weekend we had a great time, as Jeff took a break from his writing. We checked out a kimono show at a Japanese garden, and enjoyed walking through the gardens...
It didn't take us long to realize that the gardens were built over a water reclamation plant, a.k.a, sewage plant. So, the warmth of the day filled the air with a particular aroma and we were drawn to visit the lookout point over the plant. Jeff loved the 'life ring' hanging on the railing:)
A highlight of the day was the kimono show where we learned about the history of the outfit and how to put one on. The instructor of the L.A. Kimono Club....yes, there's a club!....was a consultant for the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha". Needless to say, she knew her kimonos!
After the show, our mission was "kimono hunting" for the purposes of a picture:) Several of the models were strolling through the garden and we were able to
get pictures with them:
