Japanese Isles

In photo 2, standing beside the buffalo, is a young lady Kade and I met on our trip to Hanoi, Vietnam. Her name is Ai, and she's from Japan. Ai looooves to travel. The photos below are from a trip she and her friends made to an island that's part of the Japanese Okinawan chain. In fact, you can see that Ishigaki Island is very close to Taiwan. Ai's purpose in visiting the island was to get some R&R and do some scuba diving. She accomplished both! Enjoy the photos. In the group picture, Ai's the one wearing orange shoes.
