In Amakusa

In November, I went to my grandma's house in Amakusa with my father and some friends of mine. We went there to see the traditional festival. It was shishimai. Do you know shishimai? Shishimai means lion dance. It is fun. I like this festival.
We went to Amakusa from 7 to 8. In Nov.7 morning, my father picked some friends of mine up. We gathered my house and we left. On the way to Amakusa, we bought some foods at Hirai in Oyano. We went to national park with these foods. The park is in the height. There were lovely nice view!!! We could saw big sea from there. My mother made many rice ball that morning, so we ate them and some foods which we bought. After lunch, we went to the sea and played a bit time. In the evening, we arrived my grandma's house. We went to some shrine and temples. My friends were interested in them. In the evening, we went to the hot spring near my grandma's house. We had a very nice time there. In Nov.8, it was held the festival. I was a little excited about it. I had not seen it for a long time. In this day, my grandma and relatives held small party for my friends. We ate sushi, sashimi and so on much. My friends seemed be happy so I was happy :) In the afternoon, we could hear sounds of drums from far. It was time to start the festival!! We went out to see them. After 10 minutes, the band and lion came there. We enjoyed it so much :) The two days was very fun for me ;)
