An Amazing Weekend

This past weekend was unbelievably amazing. I had the coolest opportunity to go swimming with dolphins on Miyake Island!!!! A boat ride about 7 hours south, southeast of Tokyo. Man it was so much fun. The experience was amazing. The dolphins got so close at times it was scary. I even got to see a couple of baby dolphins. How crazy is that?

The water there was a deep blue that I had never before seen. Just breathtaking. I realize now, why people can be so attached to the sea. Being there this past weekend made me want to experience island life for a bit.

A friend there is the only westerner on the island and I can only imagine how her life must be. She has the opportunity to get really close to the people there and see a different side of Japan that I can only glimpse into. Good for her.
