Yesterday, I took another girl's day trip down to Naha to see the Dragon Boat Races to celebrate Children's Day during Golden Week. Competitors have been training for a couple of months - Joey wanted us to sign up, but I nixed that idea. During the race, three teams compete and race from one end of the dock to the other, and back again. Then three new teams compete, and so forth.
We left early, and even though I'm not a morning person, it was a good thing we did because we beat the crowd and had pretty great seats! We brought our chairs, some of us had beer (at 10:30am!), got ugly slipper tans and sunburns, took tons of pictures, ate yummy food, and had another awesome day of sun.
