Would you believe me if I told you I had never watched Bambi until after I graduated college? This is no April Fool's joke. Believe it or not, that’s what happened. As a child, I’d always heard other kids talking about Bambi and Thumper. I’d seen the posters, toys, and commercials. I’d seen glimpses of the movie here and there but never the entire thing. Somehow, unexplainably, I just never got around to watching it.

 For me, it was The Lion King all the way. That was my childhood. Pocahontas was a close contender, but how could brave Pocahontas (who cares about John Smith) win over Mufasa and Simba…! Anyway, when I finally did finish the entire movie, I felt incredulous. How in the world had I not seen this as a child? It was so good! And now that I have, I can’t not think of Bambi when wearing this dress. I really can’t!

 As touristy as we could be decked out with cameras of all types, here we were on our walk to the ferry boat that would take us to Miyajima Island, renown for the deer populating the island. This was part of our trip to Hiroshima, which I had somehow forgotten to include. Oops!
