Yesterday we went to the Tanabata Festival in Hiratsuka. We're still not quite sure exactly why they have it, but it's supposed to celebrate two lover stars. CJ and I went with one of our swimmers from lessons and her mom and had a completely awesome time. I'm going to put up more pictures later because I've been having a little trouble getting photos to load. Enjoy!
I think I found something for my future classes to do! The handmade ones were all super cute!
Pokemon is still everyone (this one's for you Bryce)
Delicious chocolate-covered marshmallows and bananas
Takoyaki, or octopus balls (batter filled with octopus and veggies)
Chowing down some sweet potato fries!
I can't remember exactly what this was called, but it was really good. They would take like a small crepe/pancake, fill it with bacon, cabbage and an egg, and then covered it with another egg, corn, bacon and sauces.
They had a couple of these stations, where you would buy a whole fish on a skewer (not sure how the fish was cooked).
Not sure who she is, but CJ and I thought she was cool enough to take a picture with.
If you look close, you'll see Ichiro.
Another really cool handmade hangy-things (not sure what they're called). These are made with kimono fabric, and were told probably cost about $3000.
Yes, we stopped for a Starbucks break.
They sold these EVERYWHERE on the street. It's deep-fried spaghetti, sprinkled in what tasted like Red Robin seasoning salt. Super good!
