Bazaar is an AWESOME word

My apologies for the lack of posting lately.  We have been fighting this cold so not been out much the last week or so and likely won't be doing much this weekend.  But as soon as we are back in good health the blogging of fun-ness in Japan will continue.  I may come up with … Continue reading Bazaar is an AWESOME word

Italian Dinner in Japan

Sounds a bit odd, Italian dinner in Japan, right?  Well, I was very skeptical, so far our experiences with pizza and pasta here has been ok but not particularly Italian if you know what I mean.  Putting Ketchup on spaghetti does not qualify and the pizza's here are definitely different.  Not to mention I was … Continue reading Italian Dinner in Japan

Relief is in Sight and Other Thoughts

                Yokosuka, Japan was cold and windy when we arrived in late February, windy and rainy in April and May, windy rainy and getting hot in June, miserably nasty hot in July, August and the first week of September.  The last week or so has been completely bearable … Continue reading Relief is in Sight and Other Thoughts

Lunch first, we stopped at a place by the Yokosuka Chuo … Continue reading What $10 Will Get You

When you walk in there is a … Continue reading Summer Morning in Yokosuka

Munchie Heaven!

The snack adventure this week was a delight to my taste buds.  I have to mention the cheese flavoring in Japan.  It is so different from our American processed cheese powder.  The Cheetos and Cheese Puff snacks here are just so much better, it's hard to explain but the cheese is just awesome. YUM! Dark … Continue reading Munchie Heaven!
