BEACH!! (And a kite festival too!)






This week is Golden Week--named because three of the five work days are national holidays, so the entire country has time off!!! So, we decided to make the most of our time off and visited several cities around Kanazawa touring different festivals. Our first stop-- Uchinada!! Uchinada hosted the World Kite Festival, including the world's largest kite (which we, unfortunately, didn't see), and several "Sport Kite" shows-- kite flying to music. It was actually pretty neat, as the kite's movements really were coreographed to go with the music!! But, the best part of the day was definately the beach, as the festival was held right beside the water!! It wasn't really warm enough to go in yet (not that that stopped Zach), but it was so nice to be there on such a beautiful day!!!
