Broom Fish…

251

good morning. don’t have much time to do a blog because i gotta run. just wanted to say thanks to everybody again for their comments. i got forty something emails about the dolphin situation in taiji. thanks for understanding my side, which is the japanese side. i have a lot more to say and a lot more photos to post so hang on until i get back to hawaii. i have an eye and hand surgery coming up and can’t surf for a month so i will be doing 50 blogs a day. haha.. and i’ll get back to all your emails at that time. but for now, it’s more fun, photos, and happiness…. have a great day!!!

here is my lovely mother. we’ve been stuck together everyday for the last 9 days and guess what? we didn’t fight yet. my sister and brothers won’t believe that. haha…

this is just one of the 9 dinners we had so far. everyone so memorable. you can’t experience things like this in hawaii….

eating at ushio in wakayama is the best. every time i go there, i just watch and learn. this is a similar to a broom fish we have back in hawaii. i use to spear them and give them to my friend. well, that friend is no longer that lucky. i’m keeping them for myself and preparing it like this. it was sooooo good….

this is our wakayama bus driver nobu-san. he’s the funniest samurai you will ever meet!!! everybody loved him and he will surely be missed….
**i just wanted to take this time to say mahalo to everybody in wakayama. kimura-san, atsuko-san, naohiro and the yamari family, ken-san, genki-san, sumie-san, waka-san, nobu-san, yuke-san, kiyoko-san, hayato family, the amasan’s, the fishermen, the locals, and everybody else that made our stay a lifetime memory….
