17 April, 2010: Street Performers in Minatomirai (Yokohama)

Calf is feeling better and I am able to walk around a bit better now. After lounging around the place all morning, we decided to head out for a day of doing nothing, and ended up going to Minatomirai area to look for shoes.

Didn’t find any shoes, but walking through the area, we were handed maps displaying times/locations for a weekend of street performance. At key locations throughout the Minatomirai area there were performers scheduled to perform for the crowds that are expected to celebrate the opening of 109 Minatomirai (sister mall to the famous Shibuya 109 department store), the new Collette Mare shopping complex, and the beginning of warm spring weather that usually accompanies the end of cherry blossom season.

Unfortunately, this year, as soon as it begins to warm up, we have seen cold front after cold front roll through. Today was no different. Cold and windy. We stopped by to watch a couple of the performers, but as late afternoon started to roll around it started to get colder and we left early to warm up at home.
