Happy Valentine's Day from cool, wet Okinawa.  It is again overcast and rainy here today.  Terri came over about 10:30 a.m. and left us some goodies.  She was doing worse than yesterday, so I told her she needed to just go home and rest.  We did not need to go any place today, so Sara and I stayed here at the church.  I took a walk to the post office around the corner then walked a couple of kilometers around the streets near the church.  There was a crew of men that were laying asphalt on a parking lot next to a new apartment building behind the church.  I watched them pour it and flatten it starting about 4:00 p.m.  By this time they were over half finished and it started to rain again.  They finished about 6:00 p.m.  That was the excitement for the day.

 About 4:45 p.m.

Finished

 One of the Japanese ladies from church invited us to dinner at the same restaurant we went to last week with Dan and Terri only this time Terri did not go.  She insisted we all get steak so we obliged.  It was delicious.  

On the way back to the church Henry got an email from Noseh-san saying that Kobe had four inches of snow!  It was clogging up traffic terribly, like snow usually does.  We missed it, but it could not have been that much colder than it is here.  Anyway, February is being February here in Japan.
