Hachinohe Festival









This was a fun night and great way to celebrate my birthday on July 31st. The festival was very colorful, loud, crowded at times, and the floats were amazing. The floats all told a different mythical story and there were about 50 different floats and each float had members shouting over and over again (yada yada yada yada). Apparently it doesn't mean anything. There was also a bunch of street vendors selling all sorts of different foods on sticks again. We decided to try the different deserts, so we tried the icecream which was similar to a sorbet type taste. And we had a whipcream fruit filled crepe which was really good. We had our first photo taken by a japanese man who I thought wanted us out of the way so he could take a better picture of a float, but apparently he wanted us in the picture. And Chase is just a hit here, we constantly here cow-wa-ee(means cute) and then they touch his cheek. The japanese are some of the nicest people and they love kids and they love their festivals.
