GOOD MORNING!!! wow!! what an awesome bbq last night the locals made for us. not hawaiian style, not japanese style, but yoron style. yes, i’m on this beautiful island of yoron and after talking story with the locals last night, i learned something very important. i learned that it’s ok to spear fish on this island. the locals welcome spear fishermen and this is the only place in japan that will let you do so. if your interested, shoot me an email and i’ll get you in contact with the right people. more on this topic later….
we used a mini bus to transport us from the minshuku to the boat. here is our spearguns. on this island, it’s ok. try this in tokyo? you’ll go to jail…
the beaches are amazing. white sand and clear water. picture perfect!!
we dove 3 times. this is our catch from round 3. great assortment of fish for our wonderful barbecue…
**anyway, gotta get going but have lots and lots more to talk about YORON. i have so many good memories in such a short time. and i have new islander friends that i’m going to visit 2x a year. thanks to everybody on YORON island. you made me feel like home….
and last, when we were in wakayama the other day, this cute little 9 year old girl came up to me and said “hi, i’m kelia moniz’ fan.” seth was on the side of me and was surprised. i told her, well, this isn’t kelia moniz, this is her brother seth moniz. we took a photo. look at her smile on her face!! kawaii!!! imagine when kelia comes to japan? there’s going to be a lot of happy little girls jumping around. i can’t wait to see that….
