Beef & Garlic Festival In Takko Town 2008

Today we made a trip out to Takko Town for the Beef & Garlic Festival. It's about 1 1/2 hours from Misawa. We enjoyed the Beef so much last year we decided it needed to be our last day trip here in Japan. We were lucky enough to find some friends to tag along with us, and thankfully we only got 'a little lost' once, LOL! (Those who've been on day trips with us will enjoy that comment). It was a beautiful and scenic drive as well. This year the weather was much cooler and it was windy, it also started to rain. So we cooked and ate our beef, checked out the booths, checked to see if we were winners in the raffle (we weren't), ate ice cream, and headed home. We used Mr. B's new GPS and it was great! Go us to Takko town without even needing the directions in the paper and then got us home quicker than expected.

Here are some pictures from today, enjoy!
