2nd Impressions

Daniel

• The way everything is built around here, typhoons are to Okinawa what blizzards are to Minnesota;  A day or two off from work or school.
• Produce isn’t all that expensive as long as you know what to buy where.  It’s good to know at least a couple different farmers’ markets and grocery store options.
• If you’re willing to go “adventure fishing” and risk your safety on the way to the fishing spot you can catch some amazing fish from shore!
• F-15s are really cool up close!
  

Lydia

• I’m sorry Minneapolis.  Okinawa takes the cake for scenery and terrain during long rides.
• Tofu is CHEAP.  And FRESH.  I don’t know how, but people make it here and it is awesome.  Almost every meal we make we find a way to incorporate tofu.
• If you want to up your food game, marry Daniel Dahl.  The best meals and coffee consumed on the island so far came from our own kitchen.
• I don’t like fishing.  Unless it is extreme adventure fishing!!!!  Daniel is not too keen on extreme adventure fishing.  Until he sees the size of the fish that can be caught from shore at the mere cost of risking your life to get to the fishing spot!
• Persimmon’s are delicious.  An unexpected new contender to my favorite fruit the blueberry.

  Daniel made it down the cliff with his gear, only 300 yards more of this stuff..

  Daniel gets partial credit for helping this guy get his fish out of the water with the gaff hook.
