It's been a lot of fun having my family around for the holidays. I'm actually able to relax and use my vacation time as a vacation (fancy that!). However, it hasn't simply been days of lounging around. We've been busy...
baking lots and lots of cookies with mom (although I prefer eating them),
checking out the humongous jacks and walking the dogs,
getting beautiful pedicures (mine is the blue and white one),
eating new foods and using chopsticks,
trying Okinawan sake for the first time (response: "Not bad, I like it."),
posing in the traditional Okinawan dress at Ryuku Mura (this one's for you, mom),
braving the crowds at the aquarium,
enjoying the treats on Kokusai Street,
and viewing Maeda Point.
More to come!
Did you go diving at Maeda Point? The Okinawan clothing is marvelous. It's quite attractive on you all. Anoli's expressions are priceless, as is Loni's with the saki. Maia/Steve
