Our good friends came to visit last week and we had WAY too much fun...because now that they are gone, I am in a funk. But check out all the fun things we did (besides the hours of pinnocle--shocker).
The fish nibble at the dead skin on your feet. It feels insane! I almost climbed out of my skin until I got used to the feeling. It's crazier than ninja spit. I am taking every person I know to visit the fish doctor. What an experience.
Ryukyu Mura--a traditional Okinawan village. Loved the dancing and drums.
We also spent a few days at a beach resort, had our toes done at Cocok's, and watched the whale sharks at feeding time at the aquarium.
Sushi at Delicious. I'm not kidding--this stuff was AMAZING, and I'm not a huge sushi fan. The chef was a freaking artist.
The first week in May is Golden Week, a major Japanese holiday. In the Naha harbor, they have dragon boat races. My friend Sarah and I schlepped our four boys, braving the hot and humid weather. We wanted to cheer on our friend Lisa, who was rowing for the Navy womens team. It was so exciting to watch the boats, rowing to the beat of a gong, in unison and with gusto! I remember my sister had a t-shirt from her rowing days on Lake Washington. It said, "Strong women row to Win!" I do love a tough woman.
