Independance Day in Japan

Andre here,
Today was the 4th of July, but no fireworks or barbeques here.
Today my family took me to Kabira Bay which is apparently known as `the most beautiful spot in all of Japan`. Which is saying something. There we took a glass boat ride, which is a boat, with the center cut out and made of glass so you can see beneath the water, and look at all the fish swimming around. There were some amazing fish down there, long, fat, skinny, small, bright, dark. It was awesome.

Afterwards we went to a resturant next to the glass boats, where we got Okinawan soba, which is absolutely delicious. This kind had pieces of pork in it, and was very tasty.
Speaking of delicious things, whatever my host mother is cooking at the moment smells absolutely amazing. Kinda garlicy, but anyways.

After eating and some more sight seeing, we returned home. But we werent there for long, because Kenta`s class was having a party at the beach. Kenta and I hopped on our bikes and headed over there. It was really nice. The water was the perfect temperature to counter act the eat. We played around for a few hours, there, and then came home. It was deffinetly the most entertaining thing I`ve done on this trip.

Tomorrow I`m having dinner with Taiga, the student I hosted last year. His family invited Kenta and I over the other night, so I am looking forward to that.
