This is a house with traditioanl Ryukyu roofing that we came across on a road trip recently. There are several of this style of house in most areas on island, but they are a diminishing sight.

Peek into the Past…..1974 Okinawa

Filed under:★2006,Misc — posted by JAWjaw on @ 11:06 am

I usually don’t post about anything too personal, but today is something a little different… our 32nd anniversary. Sometimes I think we amaze ourselves more than anything else. Maybe thirty-two years of marriage isn’t that big of a deal, but given that we had only seen each other but a few times prior to the first date, were engaged six weeks later, and married about six weeks after that….were both under the age of twenty-five, from different races, different cultures, and different countries….. well, surviving all those tumultuous ups and downs feels like something worth a mention….

1st Date

Photo of our first date in June 1974 taken at Liebe…. now known as Hard Rock Cafe Okinawa on B.C. Street (Chuo Park Avenue) in Koza (Okinawa City).

More Knickknacks

With the brunt of typhoon season upon us, it’s nice to have charming ways to relax during the storms. This is a pic of another ’70s era brass incense burner and a sun candle holder.
