Friday was a beautiful day in Okinawa. After a morning of errand running and fruit purchasing Greg was home. Since it was such a pretty day we decided to pack up and head to the beach. We chose Sunset Beach, which is located right across from our base. It was still hot when we headed over there so sunscreen was a must. The beach wasn't crowded but there were plenty of people to watch. Gabriella and Greg went into the wading pool together, it's a very shallow area, so no one worried they were going to get their hair wet. Gabriella worked on some sandcastle towers, although the sand was not ideal for sturdy building. We plan to work on it over the summer with many more trips to the beach. Greg surprised us with an ice cream snack, it was delicious. I had chocolate fudge, Greg had strawberry and Gabriella had her favorite Beneimo (okinawan sweet potato). After we washed the sand off we headed to dinner at Sushi Zen. Greg discovered this place while we were off the island. It is americanized sushi, meaning lots of delicious rolls. The Japanese have delicious sushi, but they don't traditionally make rolls. This place has at least 40 different types of rolls, we sampled 5. The corona roll was delicious, fried calamari in a sushi roll. After filling our bellies we went home. Dessert consisted of cream puffs from the mini mini egg zoo. After a quick shower Gabriella fell asleep during her bedtime story. It was a great day.
