Our Trip to Kamakura

Meghan, Jaclyn, Dee, and I took a little excursion to Kamakura on Thurs. and Friday, Feb. 26-27. We stayed at a hotel called New Kamakura Hotel, but it's actually 80 years old. The girls and I stayed in a western room while Dee stayed in a traditional Japanese room. It had a takami mat on the floor on which you lay a futon to sleep. You share bathrooms and showers with the other residents in the hotel, but they were western and updated. Meghan is wearing the yukata (Japanese robe) which they lay out for you. We're also pictured in front of the store where we purchased umbrellas (thankfully - it poured on Friday) and gloves (it was pretty cold).
