The Charlotte Group started their 3rd day in Tokyo at the Meiji Shrine.The temperature on Thursday was up to 35 C!!!!

Learn how to enter the shrine. Wash your hands first, then?

Can we drink this water?

The Charlotte students are learning about the shrine's interior.

All of a sudden, the ceremony started. The Charlotte Group watched the huge Japanese Taiko(drum) as it was played powerfully in front of the students.We could feel the vibration of the drum!

Nice hat!

We can't chose which one to get....

Hot Hot Hot in Tokyo! Charlotte teachers are waiting for their students in the shade.

Sensoji---a simply stated study in symmetry.

Many NP:J schools visited Sensoji, a temple in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. This is a picture of the outer gate.

Most of the students were very fortunate to find a seat. This train left right after rush hour ended!

A classic travel shot. The scale of the Asakusa entrance dwarves the Wissahickon group, making it VERY difficult to see faces of individuals!

This NP:J student definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer!

Japanese masks provide a lot of fun! Can you guess who the three NP:J participants are?

This is the Wissahickon drum trio, using a table to pound out some Tokyo-inspired tunes. Eventually, the entire class formed a rhythm section!
