Monday, October 2nd

So a week from this last monday we went out to the Yomitan Wharf where we jumped off a huge break-water wall that protects the port there from tsunami's. the section of the wall seen in the top right image was a good 25 feet, but there was another section 10 feet higher that we started jumping off. Next time we'll have to bring our cameras out to the wall for some sweet shots jumping off. To the top right is a picture of one of the beautiful caves we got to walk back to, kind of near OCSI in the Yomitan area. The Island is filled with thousands of caves all over the place, this one actually held some 1000 civilians when the Americans attacked the island in WWII. Miraculously none of them died because of the efforts of one brave Hawaiian soldier who was Japanese in heritage who managed to get the people to come out of the cave without any harm. Thank God, because the Americans were ready to hit the place hard for fear of a Japanese regiment possibly hiding inside.

As for this bottom picture, when we went out to the sea wall there were sharp barnacles all along the concrete jacks we had to climb up, so many of us got small cuts all over our feet. Djurdji (Jew-G) shows us all, however, that even nasty barnacle cuts can be taken with a smile.

All in all, a great day for sure. : D
