| Is that a marijuana leaf on the back of that blue bike? |
Yet that's exactly where I found myself this afternoon. Hundreds of motorcycles lined up along the street outside Kadena Gate 2 for day two of the Okinawa International Festival.
Vendors also lined the street, selling cheap toys and food.
Once I got bored with the bikes, vendors and music, I meandered into the side streets and explored the shops.
Well, I'd better head to bed. I can't believe this four-day weekend is already over -- it passed so quickly!

| The nicest, most polite bikers I've ever met |
 |
| The dragon-looking thing is a shisa dog (see the heading of my blog) |
Vendors also lined the street, selling cheap toys and food.
 |
| These plastic masks are at EVERY festival I ever attend |
 |
| Scooping coals into the burner |
 |
| He was the sweetest old man! |
 |
| One of the food vendors. They sold potato chips on a stick! (See front row, past the candies) |
 |
| The festival also had your typical pint-sized drummers |
 |
| And a child who was clearly not pleased to be there |
Once I got bored with the bikes, vendors and music, I meandered into the side streets and explored the shops.
 |
| Entry-way to the indoor market |
 |
| Everything looked amazing inside this patisserie. I bought a cherry danish, and it was INCREDIBLE |
 |
| A shopkeeper opens up his store |
 |
| Shop-kitty is not amused |
 |
| Jackets? Cold-weather kimonos? I'm not sure what these are, exactly. |
 |
| Teapots for sale |
 |
| A little girl plays with a kitten inside the box |
Well, I'd better head to bed. I can't believe this four-day weekend is already over -- it passed so quickly!
