Tokio & Arashi returned home to Sapporo by bus.

  Tokio had been suffering from having rash since last night. Taking care of him, Ayako said she could scarcely sleep. She kept contact with his mother on the phone and decided to send him and his brother Arashi to Sapporo by bus this evening. I drove our grandsons to the bus terminal in Tomakomai, and Ayako let them go onboard the bus, and phoned Chiaki to meet
them at the Oyachi bus terminal in Sapporo. Tokio had got  better when he rode the bus. We were relieved.
  When we were driving through downtown Tomakomai, we saw many young people wearing yukata. Why were so many people wearing kimono?  Oh, we had forgotten it was the day the Port Festival was being held. In the evening, we heard the bangs of fire works.
