Kayleigh and her friends joined us later.. it was alot of fun.. but Lonnie and I must be getting old.. because it was very LOUD!!!

Naha Tug of War 2008

We went to Naha today..it was the annual Tug of War between Naha and Nago. From what I have read, back in time, the villagers from Naha and Nago came together to have a tug of war, and whoever won would have a bountiful year (I think it is Naha-Fish and Nago-Rice) when we were done with the pulling of this huge rope, we got to cut a piece of it off and keep for luck.

Octoberfest 2008
