Sunset Beach

Went to Sunset Beach a couple of times these last couple of days to go swimming and enjoy the water. Down by the beach is this spa called Chula-u. It is a big spa with heated pools and therapeutic massages. They also have the infamous Dr. Fish, which are the fish that eat the skin off of your feet. So hopefully some time my mom and me will go down there and check it out, just to say we've done it. However, i always get spook by the fish that run into my legs or jump out of the water where we swim.

I am finally done with my health physical and now I am waiting for the Red Cross lady to send an email to a few departments and then they can fight over who wants me. So hopefully at the end of this week I'll find something out.

*This week September 1-3 is called Obon, which is an Okinawan holiday where they celebrate their ancestors and bring offerings to their tombs. They celebrate with their families and then on the last day they send the spirits back by having some festivals with dancing and singing. We are hoping to go and see some of the dancing and entertainment. The tombs are all over the island and some are in random areas you would expect to see them there. They are to represent the entry into another life and some structures resemble the mothers womb and signify to go out of the world as you come in.
