we went to check out the OBON festival this weekend. In Japan, Obon evolved from the religious custom of honoring the deceased with memorial services. During this time, comparable holidays are observed throughout the Buddhist world. we went to the fest at the OC Buddhist Church in anaheim. N had some food & i got a strawberry shaved ice for a buck!
