I have finally come to the end of my pictures for this long-overdue gallery. I can’t even imagine why I only put nine of them in my main Okinawa gallery in 2003; I have included 60 images here! I guess I really should review the main gallery to see what else I left out (a lot, I fear).

Thanks so much for all the kind comments and votes for the gallery! I have enjoyed going through these old pictures and reliving our time spent in the beautiful Yaeyama Islands – very different from what one usually imagines Japan to be like.
