Here are a few snapshots of the Japanese island I have been living on for the past few days. The first is of sunset the night we flew in to Kadena.
The second is a local street we drive through on the way to the pool and the third is a far off shot of the Pacific Ocean over the Okinawa skyline.
And finally, a picture of our training pool.As you can see in the picture, the weather has been mostly sunny with clear skies; although the heat and humidity are significantly more severe than I'm used to in Boston!
To give back to Kadena and Foster military bases, we hosted a practice with the local age group swim club a few nights ago. Together, we played sprint bingo in the pool before eating ice cream and signing autographs for all the club swimmers. The kids were all very excited to swim with us and we all had a blast meeting them.
After I sign off, we are going to Tori Beach for a barbeque and possibly some snorkeling!

Beth -
Today is the first time I'm viewing your blog. I sense you're overjoyed to be on your way to glory by your pics, posts, and knowing you as I do. You deserve all the forever-memories and happiness that your incredible Beijing experience is surely bringing you. Me and my family (they read the Tribune newspaper article) and, of course, Jenna and her gal pals are ALL rooting for you to grab gold!!!
peace,
girard
