Well, we spent the day at the races on Cinco de Mayo. Actually, here that is Boy's Day. A national holiday that celebrates their male youths. Very nice. There were races between long boats propelled by oars in the hands of many people. We watched one and then wandered around a carnival playing random games. Mike, Jr and I both shot at an airgun stand. I did better thank goodness.
Zach and Mike, jr. rode in some airplanes and then we ate some local snacks. One was a pancake made with cabbage and some other stuff. Desiree ate that. Then we had yakitori, translated chicken meat. This was basically teriyaki chicken chunks on a stick. The big surprise here was that Mike, jr. loved it. He ate four skewers of it. He's normally picky, but the fact that it was cold and lightly drizzling may have helped him get over this.
We had fun and consider this to be our first big Japanese experience. Love you all, Mike, Sr. Out.
