Lots of Pictures

Well, I decided I'd throw a bunch of fun pictures on here for anyone to look at. So to begin with, we have above a picture of an American Fireworks Terrorist who goes by the alias "Doug", along with his accomplices Nikki and Zach. Here in Japan fireworks are legal... :D Yay for fireworks and strange statue creature things! This was all Sunday night 9/17. We got to play with fireworks and an amazing playground with a super long rolly slide!


The next day we went out on our "Monday Adventure" to the ruins of an old castle on the island and then to one of the connected islands to hang out at the beach there. The beaches here are pretty much all coral reef so there's no real water activities other than playing in tide pools and perhaps swimming to small islands. Awesome times hanging out and enjoying the beautiful beach.

Jumping to this week, monday we went to Ryuku Mura (I think that's how it's spelt) and had a good time with the little town there. It's an imitation old Okinawan village supposed to portray what villages would have looked like before WWII. There were some crazy statues people had made; you never know about those island people man.
On a lot of the beaches here there's small caves carved into the coral rock by the water. The picture above is one of the larger caves that we were able to climb into.

As for this picture...umm...I guess Doug decided he was tired of being both a man and a human...so he decided to be a viking mermaid (note the enormously wide shoulders)...
After all our adventures at the old Okinawan community and then at the beach, we were invited to a Japanese/Okinawan dinner at Sachiko-san's house. Sachiko-san is an awesome believer and missionary to Nepal. She blessed us with some amazing food (check out the pics on Tom's blog) and fellowship. The girls above decided that nori (sea-weed) is pretty useful for Unibrows and mustaches. Haha, good times with good food.

Well that's all for now. I was planning on posting all of this and these pictures a couple of days ago but I'm pretty isogashii over here, so getting the time for things like this is a priveledge.

The Lord's been blessing classes so that's always awesome. Hope you all enjoyed the pics.
