Enjoying Shuri and Mika has her first dentist visit.........

I recently went to visit Daruma Temple in downtown Shuri. This temple is famous because it is named in honor of a Chinese Monk. I always enjoy visiting shrines and temples because they're very peaceful and beautiful. It's nice to sit quietly and talk with God.

The entrance to Daruma Temple. We walked here from Yori's house. Midori and Yori went with me after eating lunch together. Midori made homemade sushi and Yori made corn croquettes. I brought cheesecake.

These are prayer cards. You can write your prayer and leave it.

I went to the pottery studio to pick up the Shisa I made. These shisa's are huge!

This pottery was bulit into the side of the studio by the owner.

This pottery studio is on a very quiet street and the houses are older.

Mika had her FIRST dental visit today on Camp Kinser! She was very brave and not afraid or nervous at all. We were so proud of her!

Ready for my checkup!

NO CAVITIES!!!! YEA!!!

We enjoyed a celebratory lunch at Burger King.

Mika and Daddy

Max was out of school for Spring Break, so he joined us. Mika shared her crown with him.
She loves Max very much!
