Day 19: Kasthamandap

Tim took me to dinner at one of my favorite Okinawa restaurants tonight, Kasthamandap Nepalese Kitchen. The food there is outstanding - tonight was two kinds of curry, hot & sour soup (soooo spicy!), chicken meatballs, and lots of garlic naan. The ambiance is just as great, with murals, sculptures, and cool chandeliers. I also tried an Indian beer called Kingfisher, which interestingly enough tasted very much like something from Flat Branch.

Day 18: Pedi

Oooh, I have happy feet right now. My friend took me for a pedicure at Cocoks tonight. They last about an hour and a half, including an amazing foot and leg massage. They do incredible artwork - there are many more extravagant designs than the one I got. These girls can do anything with that tiny little paintbrush. I have a feeling this will become a habit while I'm here.

Day 17: Wine

Um, we really like red wine in this house.

Day 16: Zipline

Spent our adventure day at the Okinawa Adventure Park. I'm not a big zipliner, so I acted as photographer for the group. This is my husband on the course, channeling Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Day 15: Sunset III

I meant to use a picture of our sushi dinner tonight, but I thought this was pretty cool. I love the view of the sunset from the third floor of the BOQ.

Day 14: Marine

Once again, I left my photo until the end of the day, after dinner at the Mongolian grill. This actually made for kind of a cool shot, though. "Holga-ish" effect done in Picnik.

Day 13: Crab

Well look who wandered out of the jungle during my walk today. I had been very still for a few minutes trying to take some macro shots, and I heard something crawling towards me. It was so far away that I couldn't tell anything but the size - at first it looked like a small rodent. Finally I was able to get close enough to see this little guy. I love his eyes. Oh, and the fact that he's blue!

Day 12: Groceries

So, the story of this photo is...I forgot to take a picture of anything today until we got home from grocery shopping, at which point I didn't feel like finding anything more interesting. Oh well, they can't all be winners.

Day 11: Scarf

Yesterday I finished my second on-my-own crochet project. Mom still helped, of course, but I can say I did this one start to finish. Still not ready to do self-portraits yet, so the scarf got to act as a wine bottle cozy for this shot. I bought some yarn yesterday, so I'm ready to start my next crochet project!

Day 10: Sunset II

This time I caught the sunset from right outside our building. I need to go outside and see this more often!
