Today we particpated in the annual Inabu Volleyball tournament. The whole town gets together to play in the games. We started the day with opening ceremonies and stretching. The stretching routine is the same one they do growing up so everyone is very familiar with it. Our team did very well and lost only one game that was against one of the teams that ended up in the championship game. At the end there was an award ceremony and I was given an award for being the MVP...or maybe it was rookie of the year...or I am not totally sure what it was for, but I did win a rice pot for it.
After the volleyball tournament we went home to take a quick shower before meeting up with the team at a local restaurant; where we ate a traditional Japanese meal in a tatmi room. It was a fun evening of hanging out, trying new foods, karaoke and arm wrestling. We even got to share some some traditional American food (jelly bellies) with them. They really enjoyed trying the differnt flavors.
