Iwakuni Street Festival 8/14/11

Late Sunday afternoon & although the sky above looks a bit threatening, we're headed off on our bikes for a downtown street festival. It's hot, so if it rains, it will just cool us off, right?


Passing the Chapel as we head for the Main Gate on MCAS Iwakuni. The sign says Bible School starts tomorrow . . .


Sunflowers in someone's yard outside the gate. We really do need rain!


Figs? Covered with netting to keep birds out . . .


Riding over the pedestrian bridge at low tide.


VERY low tide.


Downtown, Stan stops to chat with a friendly Japanese man. But I'm very hot from our @30 minute ride (I like to ride slow when it's hot!) & I'm thinking about something COOL to drink . . . and maybe some air-conditioning!


How about Monte Beer??? It's 5 PM! We can cool off AND have an early dinner. Perfect.


Stan likes this menu that features Hiroshima Carp (professional baseball team) entrees . . .


Omelet with "Carp" written in ketchup & something else we don't recognize . . .


Batter up, Stan!
