Relatives in Okinawa

I was surprised at how my Okinawan relatives embraced me and took me in so lovingly and warmly upon meeting them for what felt like the first time today at the airport.

I met them for the first time 8 years ago at a family reunion but I don't remember much at all, nor did I speak any Japanese then.

They're great people.

Gotta maintain the connection between us from Hawaii and them from Okinawa.

Here until Saturday!

I'm not a fan of Aomori (sake). I am a fan of dragon fruit, especially how the colors are so vibrant when you cut it open.
