Japan - Okinawa Day 3

Today was a general rainout. We woke up to tropical rains and thunderstorms. High 70’s which means lots of humidity. Had breakfast at the traditional Japanese restaurant which featured Western and Japanese cuisine. House specialty was a soufflé pancakes with hazelnut sauce. Pancakes are not usually my thing, but these were light and excellent. Then we did cycles of puzzles, reading and games for most of the day. Once the rains had a clearing, we went to the China Sea for Nan to stick her toes in. We think the water was warmer than the pool water!! Back to our room for a game of cribbage before dinner at the kaseiki Japanese restaurant. We sat next to a young couple at the sushi bar who are from Okinawa. They love this hotel and restaurant so they come and stay periodically. The husband has worked at Tokyo Disney and spent a year at Disneyland in California. His wife is an engineer and has spent some time in San Jose with her father who is also an engineer. 

While we really enjoyed our touring around Japan with our friends, we are also enjoying our quiet time and relaxing. Recharging the batteries for whatever life brings next…
