Food is expensive

Sometimes you can get a better deal on base when it comes to food.  And they really try to stress that the commissary is MUCH cheaper than out in town, but it’s not always.  Last month button mushrooms were almost $8 a pint and were something like $2 off base.  I don’t know what the price of peaches are off base, but it can’t be more than this.  $6.29 each.  OMG.

Jogoshima

Barbara and I went out to Jogoshima on Friday morning.  It took about an hour to drive out there and we only had a couple of hours to spend there before we both had to be back, but we wanted to get out and see something new!  It’s on the southern most tip of the Miura peninsula.

First we went into town and saw a couple of tourist stores.  Barbara bought a spiny dried blowfish.  Don’t ask me why.  And we saw the lighthouses.

We walked around the island park too.

Look at all the pretty flowers in bloom.  The first three are hydrangea.

I didn’t ask her how they smelled.

We took a couple of hilarious shots of each other, but I think we’ll delete those.  Luckily a Japanese man and his wife walked by and took a picture of the two of us together.

Then we went climbing around on the rocks.  Fun!
