Tanoshikatta!
Ooook, I was having so much fun I forgot about blogging... So, here you go! Pics from today, fresh and new! Today I helped escort a group of kids from mainland Japan, they were here to get the American experience (come to Okinawa to get Americanized...go figure..) so, we took them onto the Air force base to go shopping and bowling, the whole nine yards. These students spoke very little English but "Your friendly neighborhood Rachel" was there ( with her poor Japanese ) to save the day. Their hostess was a woman from church, Sis Marsh (see pic 1), she is very animated, she would make all of these hand motions when she was explaining something to them, they would then turn to me for the translation with a look of "What in the world is she talking about" on their faces. I would then turn to them and say "Wakaranai (I have NO idea!)". No, just kidding ,I tried my best! But anyway, here are the pics! Enjoy!

Rachel I sent you two emails. Read both and tell me what you think. I bet they were like what is she taling about referring to you. You prob said something like did you like your fish bowling on the rink, or something like that.
