!!Konnichiwa Family and Friends!!     This is my first blog post ever and I'm so not computer savvy, so please bear with me... We now reside on the 60 mile by 18 mile tropical island of Okinawa. We share with a population of about 1.4 million other people; a US population of about 80,000. We are surrounded by the aqua green and blue waters of both the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The north of the island is primarily dense tropical jungle and uninhabitable  so most of the population resides in the central and southern region. We have been here for almost 2 weeks and are just setting out to explore...so much has happened in this short period of time that this post may be rather lengthy.
