Erfurt is a lovely place, come cloud, sun, snow or darkness. Heidelberg years ago. Because i think i found the perfect place. We spent all of our energy kayaking, whitewater rafting, ziplining and climbing our way through an elevated rope course. Okinawa for the past three years. Asia as a region or visiting any of the countries there. Starbucks for our weekly gabfests, we started taking walks on the beach to enjoy the view. My husband noticing my change of heart reassured me that we could always return if i really truly missed the island that much. Jell-o with a straw and a bit hit with the kiddies. Japanese were chugging canned coffee in the morning, afternoon and evening. It is a lovely, deep violet color and is very tasty. Okinawa is not to be believed. It is very rare to see local women and girls without nail art. American women kept their finger nails traditional and went crazy on the toes. Manicure with a few strategically placed rhinestone on one or two fingers. Exquisitely crafted, light as air, not-to-sweet desserts. Japanese patisseries. Meals with apple slices when feeding kids in the car. The sounds of drums could always be heard in the distance. Okinawan soundtrack for my life on the island. Lovely to hear and lots of fun to watch.
