We went for a short time. We went back to the hotel for a short rest. Michie and her family preparing the tombs for the Shiimii. Michie is offering Awamori to the spirits. After the offering is made to the spirits, everyone gets to join in on the feast.
Elaborate food is prepared and offered to the spirits of the ancestors.
Awamori is also offered and incense is burned. I thought it was a wonderful way to spend time with family, both past and present. We ate for a short while at the tombs, then we went back to Mama's house to finish off the food. Later on Iha came by and brought gifts for all of us. We went back to the hotel to meet Tokumura and three of his friends.
