Cousin Carolie Visits Okinawa

This week my cousin Carolie is visiting Okinawa. She lives in Sasebo, Japan, so the trip down here was only about an hour and a half plane ride. After picking her up from the airport on Tuesday, we hit the laquerware and glass factories in Itoman. This pic is of me playing the ping-pong ball game at the glass factory. I "won" 2 glasses!!! I can't go to the glass factory without playing this game. hehe...

On Wednesday Carolie and I went to the Ryukyu Mura. The Ryukyu Mura is a good place to learn about pre-war Okinawan culture. Here is a picture of me with Carolie and our new friend. This old woman poured tea for us. She was very excited to be talking to us, especially after we asked if we could have a picture with her. She kept hugging us... and what a death grip!!! She was soooooo incredibly happy! I love Okinawa!
