Kokusai Street














Well, our friend's made it in, and unfortunately, our plans to go to Okuma (military resort) have been put on hold till they open....we needed to come up with alternate plans.  We decided today to go to Kokusai Street, which means International Street.  We have never been there before.  We decided to take the local bus down there, another thing I have not ever tried, but parking is horrible in this area.  Today happened to be the yearly celebration called 10,000 Eisa Dancers.  A big parade from 2-7pm.  Eisa dancers are dancers that dance to the beat of a big drum  (Eisa Drums).  It is a very traditional dance.  Here are some pictures we took of the dancers and also of the famous fish market.  All sorts of colorful fish, and meats!
