Still Hot Summer

Tokyo has had a run of hot sunny days.  Ambulances are running  the overheated to local hospitals in a constant stream.

It is about now that one feels that summer will never leave, high 90s for the rest of time.  But riding my bike through Ueno park I could hear the samba band practicing, and could see the new mikoshi well on their way. 

The Tokyo Fine Arts University festival is nearly here, which means that Autumn is nearly here as well.  Geisai will be September 3, 4, and 5 this year.
