		<description>Maybe you can drive and I&#039;ll hitch a ride, even pay for the gas; that way I can drink AWAMORI with the Village Chief and get the rest of the story!
Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Cheers,

		<description>That was a great capture of the traditions of the Ryukyuan Religion!  It&#039;s interesting that just after beginning my readings and research on their traditional religion, you have the opportunity to experience it first hand!  I will be sure to check it out next year!  Thanks!</description>

Thank you! Okinawa is often called the Hawaii of Japan. Come visit sometime so you can do a comparison.</description>

		<description>I love the pics-- they remind me of Hawaii (where I&#039;m from). There seems to be more of a sense of community in that society than what we&#039;ve got going on here in the states.The ritual is beautiful IMO.</description>

		<description>Hal, Sabina and Carlo, thanks to all. I&#039;ll be going back next year and the year after. Next year the mountain portion doesn&#039;t take place (only every other year), I should have explained better.
Hopefully, there&#039;s more dancing and sake drinking going on when the mountain climbing part is eliminated. I&#039;ll check it out and let you know, for sure!</description>
