naked!

Today’s been amazing my dad came early but I was in a government office doing SOFA status things. SOFA status is status of forces agreement giving me Japanese rights and American rights both at the same time…. I'm not really sure what that means but something about if we get arrested for anything the Japanese government can hold us for 23 days with out any proof. Well anyways I'm not really sure what SOFA is but they said it’s to protect us in situations that can happen like that…. Anyways so I meet him at the Kinser gate and we went to my living quarters and hung out for a little we took the 12:20 green line (which is the buss that goes from marine base to marine base all over the island for free) to Kinser. Once we got to Kinser we walked to American village, which isn’t a bad walk at night or when its not a black flag but I swear today was the hostess day that has been so far the summer and we walked almost 2 miles in it! Anyway once we got there we shopped around and he got me a really cute shirt I can’t wait to wear it out in Pullman when I get back! Then we had some okinomiyaki in this little palace where you cook it in front of you its super fun and really good. Reminded me of when mom makes it! After that we went to his hotel, which is close to foster. Its super nice and really like a luxury relaxation hotel. I feel like one of these elite celebrities getting away in like a high up mountain hotel over looking the ocean. We have an amazing view of the city. This place is like a resort to relax at so dad got me a body massage. It was amazing I got a full body and head massage and its exactly what I needed I don’t know why I don’t do it more often seriously I feel like totally reenergized and amazing. I also did something kind of crazy today! I went into a public bath! It wasn’t a crowded one but here at the hotel like before you go to get massages and stuff you can go to the pubic bath and just soak and stuff so I did it! I was kind of scared because well id be that American with big boobs and obese compared to them but it was pretty small and only like one other person there and she was like in the sauna the whole time. And I brought my towel in with me so I really was only naked when I was in the water! I wore I was never going to do that again after I was like 5 but it felt nice! I wasn’t really that embarrassed and its not like people are staring at you at them anyways. Everything is has some special mineral in it to help you relax and its supposed to be good for you and really the baths felt wonderful kind of like the hot springs. Anyways after that we went and had dinner in the hotel. I think daddy got a really big package deal or something because he got this amazing like 10 curse dinner with the room. It was amazing!!!!!! It was really home style Japanese food with tons of different flavors, sashimi, meat you cook yourself on a little burner, tons of pickles, soups, tempura, rice, octopuses, and everything that just made the meal amazing! Everything came at different times and like one bite size of everything on cute little hand made pottery dishes. I took a couple pictures but wish I could have taken more! It was by far the best meal so far in Okinawa! The setting helped a lot too. Right outside of the window of the restaurant was the small Japanese sand garden with rocks and the lines in the sand, I haven’t seen a Zen garden before like the one there and it was exciting! To top it all off it’s the 4th of july and we are right by 2 navy and 1 air force base that is having this festival called America fest for the frist time since 2002, and it’s a hugeeeee deal! So here I am writing this waiting for the fire works to come on! Everyone had a safe and fun 4th! This place is amazing and I’m so glad I could share it with my dad!
