Dragon boat races

We went to the annual dragon boat races on Okinawa. Unfortunately the rainy season has begun, so it was raining and a bit chilly, but it didn't stop the festival.



They had all the typical festival food and games that we've seen here. It is very tasty!



We went out to an izakaya with a group of sea cucumber/invertebrate researchers. Francois (in the blue shirt) is a Ph.D. student from Florida (originally from France) visiting for three weeks. We had a great time, ate some great food, and learned a lot about sea cucumbers!
