Princess Akishino visits the Children's Book Museum

We don't always get any pics from the doings of the Japanese Imperial Family, so I'm glad to have gotten this: Princess Akishino visited The Netherlands this week. I haven't seen that she's met with Maxima at all yet, but that seems likely? (Oh, except I just read that Max has an intestinal infection so maybe not.)

Chaz and Camz are on a trip to The Gambia, Ghana, and Nigeria at the moment -- this is in The Gambia, and if there's anything I've learned about Camilla, it's that she LOVES this silhouette. Also: she is wearing wedges. Also: I love that floor tile. Also: We're not getting a ton of pics of this tour, which irks me as I want to see more of the Gambia, Ghana, and Nigeria.
