Well, it has done nothing but rain the past few days here. Will not complain too much, but really, does it have to be the rain drops that are the size of a ping pong ball! Anyhoo....since it is raining and I am indoors cleaning and not willing to test the whole umbrella theory I have time to update you all.
I know we have not been too current with this, but hey, we are trying. Last weekend we went to a really neat Eisha Dance show along Kokusai Street, which is a street South of Base that is known for the crowds of people and a lot of shopping. This festival included 10,000 of the dancers. They would perform for those stading along the street and then walk up a few blocks and perform again for another 'set' of the crowd. It truly was an amazing site to see and to hear. I tried to download the video to picasa but I am pretty sure it was not successful. I will have Bradley mess with it when he returns from Guam. It really is such a traditional thing to see.
Not much new going on here other than work and more work. We are still trying to explore some of the island, but right now I am pretty sure we have explored 60 % of it already, so we have scaled back a little and we are just entertaining ourselves with the festivals that go on around the area.
Brad is scuba diving a lot, which he is loving. He just went to the Karama Islands a couple weekends ago where he got to do three seperate dives. These islands are one of the top ten best scuba diving locations. Wish I had pictures, right Brad!! Some friends took some picutres I just need to have them send some to us so I can post them for you. He said he saw A LOT of fish, shark, turtles, and I am sure a lot more. I will have him post more about it.
Hope August is treating everyone well. More soon.....
