It was a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon when we finally made it to the zoo. One thing about Okinawa zoo is like all the other zoos is that they’re outdoors. There always two plans: indoor plan and the outdoor plan. Island life is all about being outdoors. Therefore, so there’s not as much available […]
While it is true every country have their museums, it’s not very often that we get a tour offered by someone who was born locally. We got to tour an all japanese history museum. One that told history of everyday living, how one ate, lived, and worked. It was a gift that our friend was […]
Steps of ninety-nine. That’s how much the circular spiral staircase steep steps were going around to the top of the lighthouse. The metal clanged as we hoisted our knees upwards. If anyone wanted cardio this was it. No need for the gym, traversing the steps were enough. By the time we were feeling the burn […]
This was mentioned before, but since it is a large part of the Island a deeper dive is warranted. There’s a place that we visit often on weekend usually on a Saturday or a Sunday.

I’ve been wanting to try all the things. From shopping, to eating, to living a new way of life. So far….I’ve quickly […]
Hard to believe that we’re here, on this gorgeous island. Within a days time, it was discovered while Okinawa is a part of Japan, there is a different between Japanese and Okinawans. It’s akin to W. VA to Virginia, two vastly different cultures so we’re told. From our room we can see the ocean. A mere few […]
Walks have been more since it is no longer outdoor swimming season. I’ve learned that swimming helps my health and as does walking. So during the warmer days I swim when I can and walk when I can’t . The walks does something wonderful, you get to see things in a new perspective and sometimes […]
Spring is nearly on her way. Winter is passing the torch for the season. Flowers are sprouting up and the blooming as begun. Two of my favorite seasons are spring and fall. I have named this season springs of life because if one looks there’s signs everywhere of something new coming. Every morning, I eagerly […]
Sometimes our getaways are in our spaces. Create a space that will allow you to work freely in beauty and without restraint. […]
