Begone Gaijin! Or Something Like That - Possibly


There's a new statue down at Cape Zanpa. A native Okinawan man pointing off to the distance. Has he spotted one of the trading ships returning from China? Maybe he is recounting his days as a fisherman on the Cape. Or maybe he is trying to tell me that my 3 months are up and it is time to head back to the good ol' USA.
And weather, and all other circumstances permitting, that's what I will be doing in about 12 more hours.
It has been an incredible adventure experiencing so many wonderful sights, and sounds and cultural exhibits, food, shopping, photos ops, etc. Ron has been a most generous and knowledgable host for these past months. Many, many thanks Ron.
Sayonara!! to Okinawa and Japan. Aloha, briefly to a 9 hour layover in Honolulu, and then Hello, Iowa!
