Kotake (Little Bamboo)-
san invited me to this sacred, ancient, magical bamboo grove after our prenatal with a client who was 41 weeks 2 days. We drank this rich foamy green tea (
matcha), I marveled at the beauty and coolness. She showed me an alternate route back to the Birth House: along the scenic Kamakura-Enoshima coastline. We rode our motorbikes, skimming past cars in the beating down heat. Exhilarating.
Sunrise. Baby # 9 came amid the pounding of drums in a once-a-year all night long festival.

| Mama of Baby 9 was absolutely confident and knew exactly what she wanted. |
 |
| Kuma-chan, Kaneko-san and I went to Kanasashi Farm for some homemade gelato. |
 |
| It was so hot, the gelato was dripping all over and we had to eat it very quickly! |
 |
| Rice fields along the way... |
 |
| Remember? this is what the rice fields looked like at end of May... |
