we picked up our rental car and set off - doing our best to adjust to driving on the left side of the road.
we are staying for the week in a guest room at the school that e attended roughly grades 1-7, which is in Yomitan, about an hour drive from the airport. thursday morning we were up early and headed southeast, driving across the causeway and on to Miyagi Island and Ikei Island. on our way back, we stopped at an old castle.
katsuren-jo:
somehow this snail found its way up to the castle.
we met up with some old friends of e's family for lunch and spent the afternoon with them, soaking our feet at the hot springs and then going to a game at their CAJ's high school soccer tournament. it was a crazy game. it went into overtime at 1-1. near the end of overtime, CAJ was down 3-2 and was driving for the goal when the opposing team's keeper got a yellow card, and CAJ got a penalty kick. in high school soccer, a yellow card means you're removed from the game temporarily, so another player stepped in as keeper while CAJ took the penalty kick with the opportunity to tie the score again. but the substitute keeper guessed right and blocked the shot - CAJ lost.
