Getting Adjusted

Well, I am getting adjusted here. The people are wonderful! All except a few of my fellow Americans who sat outside my hotel window being loud and obnoxious till the wee hours. I have a bit of a crush on my housing guy. Sweet, sweet, native Okinawan man in his 60's. Spent a good portion of the day with him showing me houses. He took the time to teach many things about Okinawa. We laughed a lot. Sweet guy. Doubt I will be getting one of his houses though as I fell in love with one on the west side of the island looking out over the harbor. Gorgeous!. It rains off and on, sometimes really hard but they tell me the rainy season is past. The cicadas are LOUD!!!. It's amazing. I saw a bright red dragonfly over a Kio pond. Little red eared turtles. The food is absolutely delightful. Even for breakfast they serve rice, miso, pickled vegs and other such yummy things. I will be getting a car in the next day or so and can I just say I'm extremely nervous. The roads are narrow and parking is tighter than tight. I am getting a very small car. The heat is not too bad though sometimes in the late afternoon I get a bit drippy. I am starting to adjust to the time difference. Unfortunately, I hjust found out I have to go to San Antonio, TX next month. I'm going to hate flying. Well, enough for now. Ja matta.
