The Cherry Blossoms of Okinawa

On Tuesday, I had the joy of hanging out with three people from different walks of life and different places. Grace is from Minnesota and is working with me at Okisho for the next 6 months or so. Narumi is from Ishigaki and is my student now at Okisho. And Keisuke, well what can I say about Keisuke that hasn't already been said? He was my student at OCSI, and we have done a lot of Bible studies together. Now he's studying in Shanghai. It was an awesome day, and even though Keisuke was meeting Grace and Narumi for the first time, we all got along so well!
When it came time for lunch, we were met by a double-disappointment: first, the legendary "Pizza-in-the-sky" was closed. THEN, another place (Yaezen) was also closed. So we settled for Kishimoto Soba, which was delish. After checking out the cherry blossoms, which were alright (a lot of them had fallen off the trees), we went to the Churaumi Aquarium. Good times! Thanks guys, for a fun day!

火曜日に面白いグループを組んでヤンバルに行って来ました。久しぶりに天気が良くて、花見もできて楽しかった。ちょっと遅れていったので、桜がけっこう落ちていたけど、まだ木がキレイだった。写真もたくさん撮って、おいしいそばを食べて、良い話もしてて最高の一日だった。圭佑、愛実、グレイス、一日付き合ってくれてありがとう!
帰りは圭佑とおしゃべりしてて面白かった。普通の話じゃなくて、圭佑がずっと中国語で話してて、僕がずっとフランス語で話していた。意外とお互いの言っていることをわかった!今日、圭佑が中国の上海に戻ってしまって、いつ再会するかわかんないけど、この一日をずっと思い出に残ると思う。
