CCCCOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDD

Last thing we expected to experience while here in Okinawa was frigid temperatures.  We hit a cold snap a few days ago...a very miserable cold few days.  The humidity here makes the cold reach deep into your bones.  No sunshine, endless rain, and a bitterly cold wind.  Then the sleet fell...  According to JMA, sleet is considered snowfall.  Thus, we ended up experiencing the first ever recorded "snowfall" on the island of Okinawa. 

One plus of such dreary weather was seeing a rainbow after the cold started letting up and the sun came out.  It only lasted a few minutes...but it was gorgeous!

I love how the Okinawan's handle construction sites.  They care strongly about safety.  There are these construction lights that actually make sense and get your attention.  I'll have to try and video a construction site in the future to show ya'll.  In addition, they man their construction sites with people waving flags.  Driving the other day we came across a fake person waving at us to be cautious with lights.  His arm swung around.  It had a light on its hand and one on its head.  Super awesome!

It's the fake construction worker.  It swings it arm around.  A blinking light is located on the hand and on the head.

Caleb is enjoying his metal Captain America shield that Tim made for him.  It looks better than the real thing, in my opinion.  The battle damage brings character to it.
