Beer Tower

After watching the horse parade, we all went back to ours. Having decided as it was raining, we had nothing better to do than go and get hideously drunk somewhere. So we stocked up at the local offy. This was a task in itself as it was raining so hard, so just the 15 second dash from the car to the shop left us absolutely soaked. It is hard to describe the amount of water that can come from the sky when it rains in Japan. I am not joking when I say that in the time it takes to walk from a carpark to a shop, you end up looking like you have just had a shower fully dressed.

Anyway, weather aside, we had a good evening. We started building a beer tower, but then people started forgetting about it and crushing the cans (reflex recycling motion), and people moved onto the wine, so when we rebuilt it in the morning for the photo it looked a bit small for the amount we consumed. Rick tricked me and told me our neighbours had gone away for the weekend, so I did nothing about the fact that we were playing guitar and salsa dancing at 1am. Felt quite bad the next day when I looked out to see both their cars in the drive (#^o^#).
