Return to Miyazaki

I caught the ferry back to Miyazaki on Friday night. Saturday we went swimming in Aya River and then to the Aoshima Matsuri. I had noticed a U.S. Navy minesweeper in the harbor. At the matsuri there were all these chubby foreigners looking out of place. After a few minutes I put 2 and 2 together. Most of the Navy guys were pretty friendly. This guy, Barney I think, was running around barefoot in a pair of trunks. As he explained that his tattoos were by Sailor Jerry he held a beer in one hand and some kind of wine in another. As he explained the tattoo he was dumping each cup on his chest. Miyazaki.
