cherry blossoms

So I have been having trouble getting pictures up because my Internet is terrible but I'll figure it out. Today I went with my friend to Nago to see the cherry blossoms. We got to walk around some castle ruins and take pictures. There was a traditional Japanese wedding going on while we were there and not only did we get to watch but we were pulled in to dance at the end of the ceremony! It was pretty awesome.  We got lunch while we were there and I had a hot dog taco. I'm not kidding, it was a four tortilla with beans, taco meet, cheese and lettuce with a hot dog, covered with ketchup and mustard, inside. I have eaten some interesting stuff since I have been here, but this was special. We got crazy lost on the way home. The Japanese don't really believe in street signs so we just have to pick a road and hope it is the right one. Luckily, its an island so you can only get so lost. We had a good time though. Tonight I went to the annual award ceremony for the my wing. I was kinda nervous at first but after awhile it wasn't so bad. Everyone told me they expect to put me up there next year. I say we shall see. You have to be pretty awesome to make airmen of the year.
