Beach and Barbecue

Wednesday 11/7/2007

Today we started the day out with a mostly Japanese style breakfast. Amber was glad she preate some cereal in the room. We went for a short walk along the beach and then decided it was time to do some laundry. For the most part the Japanese washers did a good job but the driers were not as up to the job. We had to dry must things twice. While the machines did most of the work we sat on the cloud covered beach and alternated between watching the waves, reading, and looking at the Japanese riding jet skis. I couldn't convince Amber to rent a jet ski. I guess I scarred her for life in Utah when I dumped us in the lake after promising her she wouldn't get wet.

After finishing the laundry we drove through Yomitan village where I had lived and had lunch at Shakey's all you can eat and drink pizza buffet. We spent the afternoon on the cloudy beach. The water was warm and the wind didn't blow much until after we finished swimming. I really enjoyed the day and I'm pretty determined to go to the beach sometime when its sunny. We concluded our day with a tour of Okinawa City. We finished at the all you can eat Ghengis Kahn restaurant where one gets all you can eat style Mongolian barbecue. It was fabulous.

Looks like this was a great trip for you guys. It was fun to see pictures of Ian too - I always liked him. Did I read somewhere that Amber is expecting? Congratulations! Of course, since you don't post very often she could already have had the baby by now. Hope all is well.
