BBQ, Japanese Stylee

Nami and Takami, the couple who took me ika fishing, have been great hosts and friends so far. Hania met Nami through her work, and Takami is Nami's husband. He works at the local nuclear power-plant. (I hear they do tours, but I guess he's working in the super-secret section, so he can't really show me around.) Anyway, they have shown us around Mikame, introduced us to many of the people here, loaned us a bike, and now, to top it off, they invited us to join them for a big BBQ at a new park that sits atop a hill overlooking town. A couple of their friends from Matsuyama came down to join us while we stuffed ourselves with fresh ika, matsutake, eggplant, onion, pork, sweet potato, and whatever else we could get on the grill. We left soon after dark, but not before lighting some fireworks to properly end the evening.
