Today we enjoyed the Gion Festival.
Shijo Street and Karasuma Street were turned into a pedestrian paradise, with food stalls lining the streets,
and we got stuck at Shijo-Karasuma because there were so many people.
She said, "At this rate, it might take about five hours to get to Oike Street..." and I thought so, too,
but it started moving after passing Rokkaku Street, and we made it to Oike Street much sooner than we thought,
it took about 40 minutes, four times longer than usual.
