五戸国際ミュージックフェスチェバル Gonohe International Music Festival

A couple of folks in the JET community organized this festival. I've missed going to shows (Shich' isn't exactly a destination for bands to play at... I don't even think there's really a venue here... maybe the outdoor stage 'downtown'...) The weather was beautiful and I'm so glad that we made the drive down.

Another apology recipe.

Hey Glen and Glendas,

Time's just been flying by, can't believe it's almost October! I've got some photos stocked up for posts, but I've just not had the office days to keep on top of my bloggin'!

So, I offer my latest creation as an apology for being tardy.



Mango-Pineapple Chicken

七戸町秋祭り (Shichinohe town fall festival) year 2: electric boogaloo.

The fall festival seems to be the largest one that this town celebrates, it lasts about 4 days and everyone except for my office and the supermarket seems to shut down early/for the weekend. Not that surprising given how many farmer's fields there are all over the place. Hooray for a good harvest!
