自転車乗っている女子高生On a blistering late summer day, we were riding back from downtown Kyoto en route to home near Ninnaji Temple.
West of Nijo Castle and hoping to avoid traffic and for perhaps a bit of shade we were going to follow the road that parallels the Saiin Line train tracks to Enmachi.
At a light, the telltale squeal of high school girls down the block awakened us from a heat-induced coma.
Something or someone at school or on tv or God only knows was so hysterically hand-clappingly, back-slappingly funny that, unconsciously, they started to edge into the street while the light was still red.
No one paid them any mind but us. Ears ringing, we stared.
Pedestrians kept walking, a deliveryman made his delivery, cars slowly went around and narrowly avoided hitting them.
