This past weekend was the Hagi summer festival, and of course, we went to see more fireworks - however, this time, they were just a short walk from our house which made for a nice, relaxing evening despite the 40,000 people that also came. At least we didn't have to figure out parking or get stuck in a crowd for hours on end. We came and went at our own pace, watching the final few fireworks from our house. It was lovely. :-)
On Monday, there was a yukata contest - 14 girls (last year there were some men too), and Carla entered. The judging was based on the attire and interview. She won second place! First and second receive a couple hundred bucks - and just look at those bonus prizes! I'm thinking we'll enter next year! There was also a lot of Hawaiian music and dancing - this year's theme, perhaps?

Thats fun, we like being able to walk to our fireworks display also. It takes all the stress out of the event.
I think you and Jeremy would make some good candidates for that contest! What does yukata mean??
Where's The Linguist's big belted dress?
Jeremy wore a jimbe last year - the men's version of the yukata. A yukata is what we're wearing in the picture. It means "summer dress", the lighter, cooler version of the kimono.
So why wasn't he in a dress this year? Why are there no pictures of that?
These are things that I must know.
