Day three, our team stayed at base camp, cleaning, while others prepared for the festival. We had to clean the bathrooms (yuck), and cars that are used for delivering food to shelters and others in need. It was actually pretty fun. We finished just in time to attend the festivities. There were fireworks that night that had been donated from all over the country. I've never seen so many or such amazing fireworks in my life. There were smiley faces, cats, and everything else you could imagine in firework form. It was beautiful.

The days following the festival were spent back in Kobuchi Hama, helping the fisherman with the oysters, as well as untangling rope from tsunami debris. We ended up nearly finishing all the work with them, so it was a very successful week. There were only a few buckets of oyster left by the time we were done.
