the weather here has been wonderful since i've been back
and this weekend i decided that i've been wasting too much time keeping myself hidden away in doors.
my brother invited me to meet up with his wife to go visit the Obon Festival in San Jose.
I ended up going with Samar and meeting them down there instead.
She's been needing distractions too and so together we've been attempting to avoid being sedentary with our own thoughts.
(although she's been more successful at keeping busy under much more saddening circumstances).

it was already quite warm and we kind of knew it was going to get warmer.
we got there a little early and found parking easily but since the shows hadn't started yet, we walked around the area instead.
oh, and my brother was late in arriving too.

we also submitted ourselves as donors for the national bone marrow donor program thingy.
for ethnic minorities it was free
but it seems they have an overabundance of people, uh.. well of white people. so they had to pay $52 to put themselves up as donors!
filling out the forms was kind of funny because they actually had several different boxes to check for 'white' people.
i know different types of 'white' people exist but i think it's the first time i've ever seen it.


my brother showed up and we got him to sign up as well while the baby just wanted to go everywhere especially the places where she would win toys or else watch taiko drummers.






then we got food n stuff but she didnt get to play with Samar's iPhone.






then baby got tired so they left. we stuck around for part of one more taiko group and then jumped in the car and headed north.

after the obon festival in san jose, I led Samar up to Palo Alto to Stanford University's Cantor Museum.
that's where they have one of the 6 (i think it's 6) versions of Rodin's Gates of Hell as well as 19 other pieces in the outside sculpture garden.


The Three Shades


Orpheus


Adam


ugolino and his dead kids (before he eats them i'm assuming)


Francesa da Rimini & Paolo
