Dick and Brandon outside Freshness Burger in American Village.
Where do you go when you are hankering for a good hamburger in American Village? Why, you go to Freshness Burger, of course! I had a Fish Burger, Brandon ordered a Teriyaki Chicken Burger, and Dick had a Negimiso Burger (Japanese leeks.) All of us thoroughly enjoyed our burgers.

Gamera meets Dick
Today's word for the day - mensore (pronounced "men - so - reh") is the Okinawan dialect word for "welcome." The Japanese word is "yoko-so," but as we're living in Okinawa, mensore is more correct. Another example of "there is Japan, and then there is Okinawa."

Silly boys!
We had a wonderful day at the Aquarium Saturday! It was a little chilly (69 degrees F), but warm enough to enjoy the outdoor dolphin show. We even ate some Okinawa Lime ice cream cones before the show, although unlike usual, it was for the taste, not to try to cool off.

Three kinds of Okinawan sashimi (raw fish.) Delicious!
On our way home from the Aquarium, we stopped at an Okinawan restaurant on Rt 58 for dinner. We loved the bright colors and hugs shisa outside!
