Travel to Tokushima - Mar 7

We began with a Japanese breakfast at the hotel - green tea, miso soup, rice, salmon, eggs (in a kind of cake form) and unidentifiable bits and pieces, some of which were pickles.
After breakfast we met up with our tour group, which consists of the 3 of us, a couple (Blaine and Debbie) from Ohio, and May, our guide.
We took off for Tokushima, which began with an hour on a train, then a couple of hours on a ferry, then a 20 minute bus ride.
We dropped our luggage at the hotel and went to visit the Awa Odori museum. Awa Odori is a dance festival held every year from August 12 - 15 with performances everyplace, and dance troupes from everywhere. We saw an Awa dance, then were invited to take part. Dave and Sean didn't even try - I gave it a shot, but my dancing skills are minimal.
Finally, we took the ropeway (aka gondola or cable car) up Bizan mountain for a view over the area.
For supper the group went to a ramen noodle joint.
I'm now tired and ready to crawl into my Western style bed.
