Saturday, June 12, 2010 - Okinawa Arrival and Meeting My Host Family!

I just wanted everyone to know that I landed in Okinawa this afternoon at about 2:00 p.m.  Several members of my host family were waiting for me there, and they were holding up a sign that said, "Landon".  Mrs. Tomita, Hiroto, and Masato all came. It was great to finally meet them, and they are all so nice. 

They live in the city of Naha, which is sometimes called Naha-shi in Japan.  All cities end with the word "shi" which means "city". Naha is the capital city of Okinawa and is the biggest city. They live very close to the ocean, they have a big house, and we had a dinner of sushi. I met them all, but I am very tired because it is already late Saturday night here in Okinawa. I am sharing a room with Hiroto. I will write more later and post pictures once I can get my computer hooked up here.  I'm having so much fun!
