Sunday Drive for Dad's Birthday

A couple of sundays ago we decided to take the kids on a drive somewhere on the island and enjoy the beautiful day. We had no clue as to where we were heading. Our journey took us to the south eastern part of the island to another tiny island called Hamahiga Island. We found a little area to stop and give the kids some food that we packed. We explored a little and found a Japanese tomb that are very plentiful on the island. We climbed the stairs and took a look at it and of course posed for a picture. As you can see in the pictures there is a pot in front of the actual tomb area. It was full of ashes. Whether they were from a cremated person, wood or from years of incense, the sucker was full of ashes! Anyway, after I walked down the stairs, Ray decided to stick her hands in the ashes and start throwing it up in the air and on the ground in front of the tomb. Whoops!!! Our bad!! Of course, there were several locals looking at us so I quickly took up the broom and swept up what I could of the poor soul who's ashes my daughter just threw on the ground! I'm sure the locals will be happy to get ride of us in 2 months!

Ray eying the pot of ashes, or the beer in the plastic cups! That would go great with her peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Ray is probably thinking, "What the heck are you doing taking a photo of me in front of a grave!"
