NOVEMBER 2009

A bit late...we bring you the update from Okinawa in November. We had no big plans this month. Most of it was spent learning our way around town and exploring the island. We did celebrate a birthday, we ate some turkey and all in all were at least a bit more settled by months end. This month we also visited a local coffee farm and hiked to a waterfall. There are several random photos that follow along with some from our Thanksgiving feast...also some of these you may have seen before. We hope you enjoy. Be sure to check out the Japanese corner and start studying up!

You might think this is Ellie in Espana, but no...we are enjoying lunch at Holo Holo.

We planned to explore this day, Maddi knew it as was not to be left behind. Also, our Funcargo is the blue car on the right.


Maddi and Will asking for a wave to sweep them away!

This, we think is Ellie's first dip in the Pacific (this is in fact the Pacific on the Eastern side of the island)

The jerk in this photo has his medals on backwards...needless to say he went to the ball stag this year.

This is Ellie in her 'excersauser'...

Above is Thanksgiving for 40 before...

Below is Thanksgiving for 40 after...

Beachcombing for sea glass...take away that pole in the sand and this might pass for a postcard.

This is Hiro's Coffee farm...a long (albeit scenic) drive for some local (albeit expensive) coffee.

Until now we thought pineapples grew on trees...

This is just one slice of paradise

We end this month with two new best friends...

Siyonara!

See you after Christmas!
