Happy Sea Day Weekend!

Candles on the beach, Shiraishi Island, Japan

Thanks to all those who came out yesterday and stayed to watch the Shiraishi Dance on the beach at sunset. After the dance, 634 candles were lit up on the beach and down the road to the port as a symbolic Obon gesture to the spirits of the people on the island. It was a beautiful evening and I have to say that the whole atmosphere did remind me of Obon, which will happen Aug. 12-16. It is the best time to be on the island because there is so much to see and do then. But last night was pretty special too.

Looking forward to another couple days of beautiful weather and rockin' at the Moooo! Bar. See you on Shiraishi Island!
