2 weeks under our belts... Photos posted!!

Okinawa - FOOD!!!

Hi Everyone! The second full week in Okinawa has been much better than the first...only a couple of days of cloudy weather, but not much rain! It has been a little cold, but nothing compared to what some of you are dealing with! We finally uploaded some pictures of some things at picasa, the link is: http://picasaweb.google.com/joshmurphy The beach photos show the beach across the street from the apartment we are considering! And then the car photos are just some of the options we have here. We actually purchased 2 cars this weekend: 1) a 1993 Toyota Supra, 2) a 1997 Daihatsu Terios. We picked up one of the cars last night from a friend and already this morning there was a note on the windshield with the number of a person who hit the car while it was parked. There is no major damage but a few big white paint scrapes on the side! Welcome to Okinawa! Cars are treated much more casually here, so we were just impressed that they left a note. Work is going well...nothing too exciting. Josh and are signed up for scuba certification classes! It was the first thing we did after we had the car (the marina was not within walking distance and you had to sign up in person). We also drove off base which was weird. I am sure that it will get better as it goes along, but it is just weird that you can't read the signs. You really have no idea what the road names are or if there are special instructions! Fun! I will let you know when we post new pictures! Hope each of you is doing well! Betsy
