Kin Town's Nuchigusui Festival
It was like a County Fair and the crowds enjoyed the warm weather.
Nuchigusui, is an Okinawan term for what you might call, life's elixir.
It also could mean, very healthy and tasty food or, drink.
The attraction, I usually like to see, is the butchering of a fresh tuna.
People visiting, get to eat the stuff, free.
This year, I missed the action with the tuna and kept myself back in the shadows.
I've got to pace myself, this week because I'll be doing more matsuri things.
Somehow, we're having festivals Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Health foods, drinks, flowers and everything else, that's good for you were in the shade.
That was a great idea, using the parking area under a building.
It was unseasonably warm in Okinawa today.
Right after I took this poinsettia photo, I decided to get something to eat.
But, I'm not a real big fan of health food.
Off I went, to get something else. You don't need to know what.
I was halfway through eating my unhealthy food and, that's when it happened.
Something in my lunch went CRUNCH and I spit it out.
Now there's no front teeth at the bottom of my mouth !
So, after I gummed the rest of the meal down I went inside.
All sorts of arts and crafts were on display.
Did you ever notice ?
When you really don't want to be seen by anybody, everybody you know comes along.
Politicians, VIPs, business owners and kids who thought I was Santa, all wanted to chat.
Well, I just kept my face pressed against the view finder and pretended I was busy.
And, waved people off, like an old grouch.
Hopefully, I didn't hurt any little one's feelings. Politicians, phooey.
There are only seven teeth left in my mouth and none of them hook-up to anything.
So, for now, I can't chew.
It would be a good idea, to visit a dentist.
Teeth will have to wait. The cameras and I, are busy until Wednesday !
